Guide to buying Womens clothing online.

Today’s busy women are using online companies to purchase their clothing, as it is easy and fun way to fit shopping in around the a girls ever increasing workload here is a guide and helpful tips to help you avoid getting it wrong and how you can enjoy safe online shopping.

Q. Is online shopping more expensive than the high street?
 A. It is usual for online companies to charge for postage onto of the cost of an item. But remember when you go shopping in the high street there are additional costs which people often fail to see. Firstly you have the cost of return travel to a shopping mall or city centre, possibly parking, its likely when you are there you will also have refreshments.
This alone could set you back a minimum of £10 but probably more likely in the region of £20 before you start purchasing what you went there for in the first place.

Q. I like to try clothes on before I buy them.

 A. This is the most common comment about buying clothing on-line & there are advantages and disadvantages to both shopping online and in the high street. In shops the clothing is usually
on hangers and we have no idea how good or bad they look until we try them on, whereas on-line clothing will usually be modelled so that you can see the cut of the garment and an idea of how it will fit. You also get a description & explanation about fabrics online also.

Q. What Clothing sites should I use or trust?

A. Reputation and experience are key factors to whether your experience will good or bad. Sites that have been running for some time will have ironed out the pitfalls and will handle your
 purchases with ease. Check out the website about us page this usually gives an indication. Although you are shopping online good site will also offer Telephone support and will clearly
 show their number throughout the site. If it’s hard to get help with orders imagine how hard it is to get help if you have a problem. Also a good indication is how much effort has been put into images.

Q.  What if I get the wrong size?

A. Buy yourself a fabric tape measure, know your exact size.
Good sites will offer you alternative indications i.e. Bust sizes, hip sizes to help you. Internet shopping for fashion is best when you get it right first time. It’s also an idea to not to always take high street sizes for gospel as some stores now cut larger for feel good factor i.e. Next.

Here is an example of a size chart from www.j-lou.com

Q. Can I order, try them on, and return?

A. Most websites will be happy with this as long as the customer keeps some of the order and return them the way they received them. Note: Customers should understand that when ordering online they start a chain reaction of costs which involve processing the order to selecting and checking the garments
 to packaging and posting. Usually if the whole order is returned these costs will be charged.

Q.  I am worried about using my Debit/credit card online.

A. It’s right that you should always be cautious about using cards online. Always use a secure site when processing your order, most website’s will transfer you to a secure site for you to add your card details, this is indicated by the secure lock at the bottom of the screen.

Q. What about Delivery times.

A. This varies greatly from site to site, again this is where the communication between yourself and the website you intend to use comes in, contact them ( this is where a landline Tel: number helps greatly, always ask if in doubt is the best advise )

If you are buying Womens fashion online and once you have established which shops you would like to use will save you lots of time and allows you to use your free time to pursue other interests you may have. Other advantages include larger choice and it has to be said where ever you may live its true that the town and city centres all look the same, the same shops in different towns. Shopping online for ladies clothing also has the benefit that you will find something different.

Celebrity Fashion Attack

Jeff Banks fashion Designer has launched an attack on celebrities featuring high street brands. He questioned the creativity that famous faces input into their clothing ranges at high street shops such as Topshop and H&M from the stars like Kate Moss and Madonna.The former presenter form the television series The Clothes Show asked “Can Kate sharpen a pencil or draw a matchstick man? I wouldn’t put money on it.”

“The fashion industry may be a different place to one Jeff Banks is used to. Top designers like John Galliano don’t cut patterns, they have pattern cutters. That’s the industry.“Kate Moss isn’t a full time member of staff and she isn’t a trained fashion designer, however we see her a fashion icon. Most brands have made quite a lot o money out of copying what she wears.”Jeff Banks was also quite critical of the ‘m by Madonna’ Women’s Clothing range which went on sale in March at H&M. He said 2I think she’s a very talented singer. Have clothes played an equal measure in her success as her ability to hold a tune? Sure the have. But can Madonna design clothes? I’d like to see the sketches and watch her cut a pattern.”

 Episode 9

Tuesday, 27 March
There are just five challenges remaining and with the score 4-2 to Better Half, this week’s task is more crucial than ever.
As the girls gather for their meeting, one WAG is absent as Charlotte (Better Half) is ill. But the girls refuse to let it deter them which is just as well as the challenge is an especially hard one - to sell a range of Isabella Oliver maternity wear for just one day. It will require all the skills they’ve learnt so far and more than a bit of hard work.
But, as Jadene (Better Half) and Nicola T (Bows) are revealed as this week’s shop managers, there is a twist and it is one that the girls were definitely not anticipating.
For this challenge, the managers will be swapping shops with Nicola taking on the Better Half boutique and Jadene in charge of Bows (and with it, the handful that is Michaela!)
There is one other rule this week - the managers can’t nominate themselves for the challenges. So, for Bows, the challengers are Julie and Krystelle and for Better Half, Elle and Heather.
As the girls return to the boutiques, the challengers get started.
Having each selected 100 items of clothing, the challenge gets harder as the girls TV presenting skills are put to the test with an impromptu spot on home shopping channel QVC.
But back at the boutiques, things aren’t quite so professional.
With Charlotte still absent and the others on the challenge, Nicola and Cassie find themselves on their own in Better Half and Nicola makes her stand as manager with a pyjama party!
Meanwhile, Jadene’s hardest task at Bows is getting Michaela to behave but could she have found a tactic that works? Instead of telling her off for not working as hard as the others, Jadene identifies Michaela’s strengths and crowns her Bows’ official entertainer, responsible for keeping the queues occupied as they wait to come into the boutique.
But, even this isn’t quite enough to keep Michaela in one place and soon she is in pyjamas and partying in Better Half, blaming Nicola for kidnapping her and making her have fun!
There is more trouble for Michaela as Jadene discovers mouse droppings in Bows and traces the source to Michaela’s half eaten food left lying in the stock room.
At Better Half, the situation isn’t much better as Nicola’s initial enthusiasm starts to diminish as she realises that she’s then only one doing any work.
Meanwhile, on the challenge, the girls aren’t having much more success as they struggle to find customers for their maternity range.
Even Cassie’s efforts to re-stock Better Half with a fantastic blag of 80 designer dresses leaves the others unimpressed and has her close to tears as Jadene tells her off for securing too much stock.
As Cassie says, when it’s all free, how can it ever be too much? Even the mentors agree.
So, with just four weeks remaining are the cracks starting to show and will the boutiques self-destruct as tempers fray and tension soars?
This week, Bows won the challenge, closing the gap to a 4-3 lead to Better Half.
But can they continue their winning streak or will Better Half hang onto their pole position?
There’s only one way to find out - tune in at 9pm, Tuesday, ITV2!
