For those that buy clothing online...
How do you do it?
Do you try clothes on in person 1st and then buy them on line?
I range anywwhere between size 4 to size 8 - depending on not only the brand but the cut, so that means that someone could range between size 0-4, size 10-14, etc
Especially for those sites where the clothes range between 200 -400 each!!!

Re: For those that buy clothing online...
I think once you order from a particular store you'll know what size you are...its all matter of trying it on. They were times where I had to exchange things or just simply return them when they did not fit well...you kind of get the feel after a while.

I don't really have issues with any brands but I am just apprehensive about buying online. I am doing a training and getting a nice chunk of change and need new clothes and love some things online. Banana republic I'm a 4. Delias I'm a 5. 7s I'm a 29 BUT my true religion jeans are a 29 and still tight around the wagon I have been draggin since Cailen! Also I have several pairs of lucky that fit the same. Some are 4 and some are 6! So I need to see in person. I am very curvy even though I'm small and now my curves have shifted!!! Guess I will spend a day shopping, although I always had luck with Victoria secret.

Re: For those that buy clothing online...
I would def try it on if your sizes vary..
I would hate to have to pay $$ if you don't fit in something anyway.
There is a size chart the buyers usually go by..
say your a 26 waist your usually a 3/4 in dress pants and size small in sweats ect..
27 waist I would believe your a 5/6 in dress pants and then a size medium..
give or take if you have a big round booty and hips or not...
ect..

Re: For those that buy clothing online...
I think it help if you know your measurements. I don't , which is why I only buy shoes & undies on line! 
(And shoes can vary too)
Or use the size chart to narrow it down & buy 2 sizes if the return policy is decent.
I used to do that back in the days of catalog shopping.

There are certain things I don't buy online b/c they are so hard to find in a perfect fit...jeans and pants usually. I buy shoes, jewelry, tops, and some dresses online. I usually get the size right.

Re: For those that buy clothing online...
I never buy pants/jeans online cause they are so annoying to find a correct fit. I buy shirts/dresses online constantly. I don't find it too hard. I can usually tell which ones I will need to order down a size or up a size depending on the cut (for ex: I need to go down a size for strapless dresses/tops cause I know they will need to be tighter up top to stay up).
Most of the items I buy seem to come in XS, S, M, L versus number sizes, so that makes it easier. Less choices!

See- I could NEVER buy a fitted dress online - I have really broad shoulders and a broad back... I'm actually a size larger in dresses because of it!!!!

Re: For those that buy clothing online...
total crap shoot for me. a good number of stores that i purchase from online do not have a B&M store. however, 95% of time i order from sites that offer free shipping. i don't focus on the cost of items so much as the free shipping. although it is an inconvenience to return at least i am not losing money (shipping) as a result.
