NEW DELHI: Online shopping has made things easier for many, yet a number of times online shoppers tend to get the wrong outfit or lose a track on how to go about it. For starters get your measurements right, take the help of another individual or go to your tailor, and review and edit our cart before placing the order to really know what you are ordering, suggest experts.
Srigopika Radhakrishnan and Aruna R Krishnan, co-founders of That1Too.com, and Shikha Shah, Founder and CEO at The Missy Co, have listed some important points:
Size matters: Most often, online shoppers tend to overlook the size charts. An 'S' in one website may not be the same as an 'S' on another. It is highly recommended to go through the size charts and cross-check measurements using the size chart before placing an order.
To get your measurements right, take the help of another individual or even better, go to your tailor. You would basically need measurements of your shoulders, bust, hip and waist. You can cross check these measurements against the size chart to place the order for the right product.
Shoe sizes can be tricky if you are shopping in UK and US sizes. The idea to get shoe sizes right is to measure your foot length in cms and find the corresponding size according to it. Check in with the customer care team before you order if you have questions.
Certain fabrics photograph better in light, thereby looking vibrant and different than what it originally looks like. For instance, blended fabrics in dark colours look duller in pictures and bright colours look brighter than they actually are.
Always be prepared to accept minor changes in the colour from the original product. But if you get something absolutely different, returns are always an option.
The customer care is always there to help you find the right product and make sure you find your perfect wardrobe match online.
