Whether you're fearful of fit, returns, or shoddy quality, read on to see how you can conquer your fears and take advantage of online savings.

Fear #1: What If They Don't Fit?

This probably tops the list of your fears. there are several steps you can take to better your chances of buying a garment that will make you like the way you look.

Now days technology allows online shoppers to virtually try on potential clothing. This shopping aide requires some user input like age, height, weight and additional questions concerning your body shape and favorite styles.

Unfortunately, few sites offer this kind of service. But still, there are other ways to take the guesswork out of sizing, the easiest of which is to actually know your measurements and compare them against garments you're considering buying. Make sure you take your measurements and file them in an accessible place for easy referencing.

You can also take the clothes you own that you'd swear were custom made for your body and measure those, as well as note the fabrication. As an added note seek out photos of the clothes actually on a model, rather than lying tastefully crumpled against a white background, is a way to determine whether a garment runs tight, loose, short, or long.



Fear #2: Clothes Look Different in Person?

It's so easy to be persuaded to buy. There are two types of offenders when it comes to deceptive product photos. First, there are photos that are just generally unhelpful and there are item descriptions and photos that seemingly are chosen by online retailers with malicious intent.

Fabric is a telltale indicator of whether an article of clothing will look "cheap." As a general rule, natural materials (cotton, linen, wool, leather) are good. Manmade stuff (acrylic, rayon, acetate, nylon) is a little more risky. It's certainly not impossible for those fabrics to look nice, but knowing what you're getting in advance will make a difference in your expectations.

Fear #3: What if I Don't Like My Order?

With all your fears up to this point addressed, you're about to proudly make your purchase. But wait! What is that feeling creeping up? Anxiety that you might feel buyer's remorse? Fortunately, you can plot a thoroughly researched escape plan — that is, once you've studied the store's return policy — and act accordingly.

The holy grail of online shopping is free returns, and fortunately for all fashionistas, plenty of stores offer them. The dicey part here is knowing what's required for a return — do you need the receipt or packing slip? Can you get a refund, or just store credit?

Research a store's return policies before you buy, and factor that into your purchase. Be wary of exceptions, like final sale items, which you're generally be stuck with no matter what.
