The best thing for knowing the sizes of the items that you want to purchase is to fit them before you pay for it. But then it is not right or should I say difficult to do since the seller wants your payment before he/she sends out the item. I think that you just have to estimate the size of the clothing, how it stretches, its material.. Like if its stretchable, then you can probably have a fit even though the size of the shirt and your size wont match.. Also, if there are some shops in the mall which are alike with the ones you want to purchase online, then try checking the size of the clothing. You try to wear it and if its your size.. then you use that size in purchasing a clothing similar to what you have fitted over the internet.

Yes, I do shop for clothing over the internet very often. So far I haven't had much trouble with sizing. Most online retailers would be happy to help you to decide on which size would be right for you. You just need to give them your measurements and the type of fit you prefer, tight, loose fitting, etc and they can advise you accordingly. Additionally, you could also ask them for the garment dimensions. This will help you to make a decision. Finally, if you do make a mistake and choose the wrong size, make sure that the retailer allows you to return the items. Happy shopping!

I buy online. and I found some clothes which are really cute.. but you are right, it will be difficult for you to know if it will fit you or not..but they will write it there the item description. if it is small,medium or large.and sometimes,they will note it down by inches..when it comes on pants,they will indicate there the waistline and how long it is. and I believe that you can ask questions on sellers.
-hope it will help.

yes i frequently buy clothes online but not for me. i buy baby clothes for my son. i had a bad experience when i bought some clothes for myself, althoug i know my size for a certain brand, i was surprised to find that the one i bought is still 1 size too large for me. best thing to do when buying clothes online is to ask for dimensions coz it would really be such a waste if they wouldnt fit you..

No, I like to see in person, what I am going to be soon wearing and to be able to try it on or see exactly how it is going to fit. The only time I ever really buy anything online is movies cd's or books that I am not able to find in stores.
