I always try to do that. Sometimes it's easy because the retailer (like Boden) publishes the measurements for every item and size on each product page, but often it's just a guessing game. You are so right that Angie's roundups and descriptions are incredibly helpful for this.</div><div>Suntiger - Yes! I do that too. Sometimes it's easier to see details like that on the lighter coloured version of an item.</div><div>Carla - Ah, I've run out of articles I'm allowed to read on NYT this month, but I've no doubt it's a good one, thanks!-)</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm closing the thread for this week, and want to thank you all again for these marvelous links!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2138214 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 07:59:24 +0000 Carla 2138214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s another good article about dressing up during quarantine.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/11/style/leandra-medine-ari-seth-cohen-instagram-influencers.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/0.....ncers.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2138147 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 22:21:23 +0000 Vildy 2138147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's why Angie's roundups are so terrific - she's seen the items, often on clients,&nbsp; takes note of what Fabbers have found out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2138131 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 21:32:59 +0000 Anonymous 2138131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Vildy! I've been relying on reviews, but so much to think about with the photos. I do look at the garments in the lighter colors to see details and pay attention if skirts/dresses are obviously sheer at the legs or if the pants show under tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2138118 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 20:34:20 +0000 Vildy 2138118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh, hems!&nbsp; You're so right.&nbsp; I'm very short so I can easily hem up but what a headache for tall people not to be able to see something so basic and would be a dealbreaker.&nbsp; Alternative would be to try to find out the length measure on Every. Single. Item.&nbsp; that catches the eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2138111 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 19:51:18 +0000 Inge 2138111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Vildy, I had to laugh but was nodding in agreement so much too. It can be so annoying, and just makes it hard to judge an item of clothing and its fit. One I see so often is the model posing in "artsy" ways, bending over, hunching etc. so there's no way to actually gauge where a skirt or dress hem would hit me etc. You'd think brands create problems for themselves that way, as I can imagine more items being returned because of this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2138049 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 12:05:50 +0000 Vildy 2138049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so <i>hard</i> to shop exclusively online when you can't judge true color, feel of fabric, how it drapes...&nbsp; But what about when you can't judge anything else because of how hard the website is trying to be editorial?<br />I learned long ago from a knitting book to beware of cutesy poses that hide the fit issues.&nbsp; &nbsp;Here's a reddit discussion from this very angle - famous Zara dress modeled underwater! -&nbsp; that calls out all the strategies like model's hair covering entire neckline, very active poses that obscure camel toe on leggings or perfect outfit to look good when you're passed out on the floor.&nbsp; Ruefully, true and funny.</p> <p>ETA: but also, of course, real tips, too. :D</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/i7tvho/what_are_your_best_online_shopping_tricks_to_be/">https://www.reddit.com/r/femal.....cks_to_be/</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2138047 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 11:34:47 +0000 Inge 2138047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-94#post-2137918 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:45:04 +0000 Inge 2137918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Oh that is a good one, thanks Brooklyn.</div><div>Interesting articles, Joyce and suntiger!</div><div>nuancedream - Fab to hear they are doing well.
