Tips From An Expert: Read The Fine Print
FIT: The models’ height and size give clues to how it will fit you.
FABRIC: This will tell you if it is made from a material you may like (stretch) may be allergic to (wool) or wrinkle easily (linen).
SIZING: The trickiest part, check out customer comments and product info to see if it runs big or small.IMAGES: Check out all of the photos and magnify to make larger to examine the details and texture of an item.
RETURNS: Every website’s is different, never assume that you know what it is. Look for things like ‘Sale items are final’.
