The abundance of “invitation only” on-line timed sales is interesting. Of course everyone is invited, after you give them your e-mail so they can invite you again, because these sites want to sell. And designer merchandise at 70% off? Certainly you are saving, but designer merchandise is so marked up what you are probably getting is fair value. It’s a sign of the times, that clothing for fall is already available at huge discounts. But will your “incredible deal” fit when it arrives? Most of these sites either will not accept returns, or will only give you store credit. And that means you will have to go through the same process all over again. Of course, you can’t blame them. The buying and returning habits of shoppers jack up the cost of doing business.
Now I can only speak to you about sweaters because that is my business. And with respect to fit, sweaters are a relatively easy item to purchase on line. All you need to do is to take you favorite sweater out of the drawer and measure it.
Measure at 1” below the armhole for the bust and double it. The bust measurement is key to how a sweater fits. Compare other points of measurements, and if they match your favorite, then your online purchase should fit. Keep in mind that your favorite sweater may have stretched and that sweaters are elastic. So if you really like something, you have a tolerance of at least an inch.
All that said, please preview my cashmere sweaters and shop online in the sale section during my timed sale: September 15, 10am - 2pm Pacific Time.
