Shopping online?

[LadyOfMystery]

So who all shops for clothes online? Where do you shop most? I've never -gasps- shopped online. Ever. For anything.

So Im a bit of a n00b, and I wanted to maybe start buying clothing online and wanted to know of a couple of places/suggestions.

I shop several places online for clothes; but they are places that I already know my size in that brand. Because exchanging for a different size can be a pain and often size charts they provide are off.

As in places you shop in person as well?

yes; I like online at times b/c sometimes I can find a better deal online and free shipping. Or the brick and mortar store is too far away and it's easier to see all their items online; where as if I went to the store it might be a hit or miss if they have the item or not. or something really expensive that I've admired for months is on clearance for a reasonable or even cheap price and it's found online but not in the store (or at least not in the store in my size).

I don't think I've ever purchased clothing online before. Clothes shopping is a pain in the [braying donkey] for me because I'm only 5ft tall (most clothing companies seem to believe that no one is shorter than 5'4") and I'm not a stick but not obese. That's a tough combo to shop with, since strangely enough, sometimes I think it was easier to find clothing that fit right when I was much bigger. So, all of that to say I don't trust buying clothing online, since it's hard enough finding clothing when I'm shopping inside physical stores.

I have bought plenty of other stuff online, though. I've mostly bought books online, but I've also gotten other things like CDs, bath/body products, and once a humidifier. I mostly shop at Amazon, though I've also shopped on the websites of stores that I go to, like Wal-mart and have boughten through Etsy. I tend to be a cautious online shopper and I'm still too paranoid for Ebay.

I have used random sites for clothing. I also order books online.

I'm plus-sized so I only go to plus-sized stores online obviously, like Additionelle or Penningtons

But I do shop for practically everything else online, from hobbies to electronics to anything else you can think of.

I will check those sites out, thanks!

I should mention I shop at Additionelle and Penningtons because I'm Canadian. When I shop online with them I can physically take the clothes back to one of the stores locally if they don't fit. Win! I don't even know if they have stores in the US or not, I haven't had a need to check

If you're plus-sized check out http://www.killerkurves.ca/, it's a fashion blog type site which is Canadian but there are lots of awesome style ideas and many of the stores are US-based I think that just happen to ship to Canada.

If you're plus-sized check out Killer Kurves – The Canadian Plus Size Authority » Canadian Plus Size Fashion – Plus Size Clothing Canada » Canadian Plus Size Fashion – Plus Size Clothing Canada, it's a fashion blog type site which is Canadian but there are lots of awesome style ideas and many of the stores are US-based I think that just happen to ship to Canada.

Oh! Lol Thanks, yes I will take a look at it.

I use Amazon. Lowest prices and fantastic service.

I shop online for several reasons. One, being that my personal style is not often found in my size, second, I have limited transportation to get to regular stores. While Amazon.com and Ebay have a good selection of clothing in all size ranges, it is very rarely in styles I personally like. However if you're a person who is more into regular fashion than the off-beat, they should serve you well.

Sometimes I also use JCPenney online, though that is becoming rare as I find their size chart, unless listed for a specific brand, tends to be inaccurate. According to them I needed a 2X in a coat and a couple of shirts and I ended up having to exchange it for an XL, and I might have even been able to get away with a large in the shirts. For some reason they're still using the 50's size chart, when women wore girdles. So if they're just using the regular, non-specific size chart, add 2-4 inches to the item in the waist (in the waist, not anywhere else apparently) and that's really the size you'll probably be in.

I have an inverted triangle body shape, which means I'm broadest in the shoulders and bust and my waist and hips are the same size, even if both are toned. This is different than an apple where the waist is same size or larger than both hips and bust. So shopping is terrible for me anyway. I usually just end up with small boutiques and end up custom ordering something to my measurements.

I shop online at Old Navy quite a bit. Mostly because I know what size I am in their items and also because I can bring it back to the store for exchanges or returns.

I use Amazon for almost anything else. Books, electronics, household, etc.
