Buying Online Womens Fashion:  What To Look For In An On-line Boutique

There is a growing trend towards on-line clothes shopping in Australia, partly through convenience, but also distance from capital cities makes it difficult for many Australian women to have choice. However, buying fashion on-line is not just about an exchange of cash, it should be as good an experience for you as visiting a boutique.

Some of the things you need to look for when buying online womens fashion are:

Does the on-line boutique have a successful retail space? you might ask why this matters but it is important because a retailer will see other customers try on the same clothes you are thinking of buying this means they can provide realistic feedback to you about your selection, for example, what body shapes are best suited to the garment, how short it will be? What are the critical measurements? Is it tighter on the hips or arms or across the bust? A good retailer will also not put garments on the web that have developed faults through wear and this can only be seen through experience.

Do site products change regularly? sometimes its a good idea to visit the site a few times, products changing regularly will tell you that they are on-trend, new season and are being bought by others. Additional sizes of new product can often be sourced from the supplier but this is impossible if the product is weeks or even months old.

Are your questions answered remember this is a relationship, are they addressing any concerns, giving you more information such as sizing, fabric descriptions or feedback from other customers, are they timely, courteous and interested in you!

Are they transparent with how they handle returns and exchanges, do they abide by Fair Trading rules, and are their excessive handling or returns charges it is best to know this upfront.

Compare prices but always include the cost of sending the item into the equation and beware of bargain clothing which may has fit problems.

Know your labels, womens fashion labels such as SunnyGirl, Pink Stitch, Mavi and ids are very consistent in their sizing while others may not be.

Lastly, an understanding of fabric can really help you with your online clothes shopping experience. Stretch is often your friend if you are hard to fit, knits and fabrics that include elastane, spandex or polyamide are great, also products with elasticized waists or cuffs, and shirring will overcome lots of fit issues.
