Sometimes you luck out and know your body well enough. It's not always a happy ending. You should at least know what silhouettes work best for your body type. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-purchasing-new-clothesdresses-on-online-stores#post-884501 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:27:40 +0000 qfbrenda 884501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I buy dresses online regularly but expect to have to hem them shorter since I'm 5'1".&nbsp; Through some trial and error, I can usually guess if a particular dress will work for me or not.&nbsp; I know what shapes I like and what shapes fit my body the best.&nbsp; So I usually stick to those and have fewer returns than I used to do.&nbsp; <br /><br />I agree about buying from stores with good return policies. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-purchasing-new-clothesdresses-on-online-stores#post-884497 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:23:31 +0000 rachylou 884497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have difficulty fitting dresses, whether bought online or in-store. I'm short-waisted and often I find dresses are designed for bustier ladies. In the past I've sized up (for extra material) and then had the dress redone to fit me.<br /><br />But I don't buy much online. It's a hassle for me.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-purchasing-new-clothesdresses-on-online-stores#post-884478 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:11:52 +0000 lyn* 884478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I buy online most of the time for personal safety (I seem to have bad luck at malls) and because it's pretty easy to return with one quick dash into a store. I also do buy from places with poor return policies but I make sure that I know the brand. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-purchasing-new-clothesdresses-on-online-stores#post-884464 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:05:09 +0000 Thistle 884464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I buy them online all the time, but only from places with easy and free returns. I will either mail them back, if return shipping is free, or take them to the store if there is one in my area. <br /><br />If they don't make it easy for me, I shop elsewhere. So many other places that do make it easy. Nordstrom's is my favorite, with Zappos and Amazon a close second. I know, Amazon is not known for clothes, but sometimes you can get lucky there. They have free shipping and returns on their clothes if not all of their departments.<br /><br />I would guess 95% of my clothes have been purchased on line since the birth of my daughter. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-purchasing-new-clothesdresses-on-online-stores#post-884453 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:59:52 +0000 vero 884453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <u></u>Every Girl, if not most, love dresses....
