When you want to shop women dresses online, there are so many advantages attached to it. You don't have to leave your house; you can shop from anywhere, and don’t have to wait in line. But sometimes, you may end up buying wrong sizes, or perhaps the colour looks different once the dress has been received. There are certain issues that might crop up while you buy dresses online. So, in order to save your time and avoid being disappointed with your order, here are few things you should keep in mind.



1. Measure Yourself Correctly: The golden rule to remember is that you should know that sizes depend on the brand you choose. Sizes vary from one brand to another. When you are shopping in retail stores, you have the luxury of trying on each and everything before purchasing. But, with online shopping you don’t have the privilege and it is better to be careful at your end. Take out the good old measuring tape and note the waist, inseam, hip, and bust. This will ensure that you get the correct size.

2. Refer Size Chart: One cannot insist enough on this point. Once, you have your size ready in hand and if you like something you see, immediately check the size chart. Most online stores have accurate size charts. But, if you feel a little unsure, you can always refer to the size of the particular brand on their original website. Another thing you might have to consider is taking a look at the model’s height and the size she is wearing which will be mentioned in the website. Her height may give you a fair idea on how long or short your dress will be.

3. Research about Materials: The look and feel of the material is equally important just like the size. Imagine the horror of receiving the dress you have been wish listing only to know that the fabric feels like paper? Since, you don't have the choice to feel the texture you can take a close look at the photo and get a fair idea of how the material looks. Also, you can read up about materials online and check which one works for what season. You should also take into consideration the climatic condition of the city you live in for repeated usage.

4. Taking Notes: If you purchase from online shops frequently, you can keep notes on the brands you shopped and the websites. This will help with your next purchases. You will also have an idea of which cuts you love and which one suits you better.

5. Read about Return Policies: Although you are super careful about your choices, sometimes you can't avoid the disappointment. So, it is always good to know about return policies which will come in handy even if it takes a wee bit of your time. Learn about whether you can make exchanges and within how many days you need to return it.
