have you ever bought any cloth online? i have never done that, and don't know when will i do my first cloth oreder online. i like the feeling that try the cloth on by myself so that i can see how it looks on me, and feel the material in hand or on my skin. Another reason i don't do that, coz the size vary for different brands, that is truely create more trouble most of time, so i just give up on that and shop in the store. but i recently find out that for some certain brands i can find their online store, and get more discount online, so i guess i might start shopping online soon.

i have done it a couple of time where i have bought clothes online, but i always buy from my favorite store and i have gone to the store and shoped there, i only buy online when i cant find a certain item in the store or in my size. Thats when buying online is good because you can order it in your size if they dont have it in stores and some stores allow you to return it to the store if you dont like it for some reason. Happy Mylotting!

Hi there, True enough! I believe every online shoppers will have their favorites online stores and sellers. I do have a few favorite sellers at Ebay too. I like to check on the sellers as often as I can so to get to see their new arrival clothes. I like to shop with those online store that always give more discount or free shipping to its regular customers,

I buy clothes online for myself but only from one company that I already know the size will fit me because I have been buying from them for years. At Christmas time or birthdays, I will purchase clothing online at a lot of different places for my grandkids or daughter-in-law because they are easy to size and shopping online is very convenient for me.

No, I have never bought clothes online, but I'm planning to. =) Well, I think we think alike. For me, buying clothes online is not as easy as we buy another stuffs online, such as laptop, camera, cellphone, washing machine, etc. We really have to know the size, how it looks like on us, and so on. And to do so, we have to be there and have to fit it ourselves. But nowadays buying clothes online is one usual thing as it is very simple and the sending just a matter of couple days. I'm not sure about the price, but one told me that buying online costs us less than we buy at store.

Well, I'm not very comfortable in buying of clothes online. The main reasons are basically what you have described. I do also like to try the clothes before buying them, so as to see if it fits me, and if I like it on myself. I do also worry about whether the size fits me as well, especially for bottoms. Even so, I do admit that I had bought once online on ebay. It was for a top which I like the design, and the price was a steal. The top was a "free size" top, and they stated the measurements for it, which I thought will fit me. I eventually managed to win the bid at around US$8, and was quite happy with it. However, the seller soon stop selling in ebay, and I never find another such good buys after that...

Hello 25thseaweed, Very nice discussion you have there. I had bought cloth online, from ebay and other online stores. There are many advantage of buying clothes online. I will just go through some good points here : First of all, you can get to buy imported trendy clothes without travel outside of your country. No need to worry about the size as all the measurements are written in very details as the items descriptions. Some of the online stores will have return or exchange policy too. If I find that the sellers sell good stuff, I will always repeat my second, third and more purchase. Certain well known branded stuff can get cheaper online compare to buying from the outlet. There are many good brand website have started the trend for online shoppers, such as Gap, Miss Sixty, Old navy, Coach, Calvin Klein and many more.

I have never bought any on line items. I'm afraid I won't get the item right and if I'm going to buy clothes it won't fit me or it won't look good on me. So, I just stick on shopping the traditional way, in the mall.

I have orderd a few bags, books and movies online. Reently my husband was about to order for a few t shirts. I felt that they wont give the same quality as shown in their website. After all we cant feel the material, right? also the shipment comes days later and we might cross the date within which they agreed to return the stuff, so i think it will be a complete waste of money.

I have shop online for almost a year and it is more cheaper compare to mall price. The reason here is sometimes you can't assure the good quality of the item you purchase because you have not seen yet and also if it really fits to what the seller describe. Sometimes it doesn't meet to my expectation.

friend there is no harm in shoping clothes online but when the delivery comes there is no gauantee that the recieved clothes are in same conditions. what about fitting?? clothes can be short or long,tight or loose. so you should shop clothes from shop and by taking a look and changing them once. happy mylotting.

Yes, I've bought some clothes online. I lived in g small town, I couldn't find cute maternity top there. So I tried to buy online and I was satisfied. But looks like I'm not gonna do it again soon, not because I'm dissapointed. I can find everything in where I live now lol

what you said is right in a certain situation. some people who have the very standard figure and they totally like to shop online.because they only need to know the size and they know if the clothes are suitable or not. but like me, i like to shop on line, but not clothes. because my figure is not that perfect.

Hey! Yea, I've bought clothes online before. It is important that you know how the brand fits you before you buy it. Therefore you should only buy clothes online from stores you typically shop at and know what sizes fit you. I haven't had a problem yet and it is nice getting the online discounts. It would become a hassle if you bought something and it didn't fit you so just make sure you know what sizes you need before you buy clothes online.
