Will I be able to fit into this?

Will I be able to fit into this? - Will I be able to fit into this? Do they have this in smaller size?

While shopping for clothes do you try on the clothes in the shop itself or do you prefer trying them at home and then going back to the shop to exchange if needed?

I usually just buy whatever and then bring it home to try on. Normally if I am out shopping I have the baby with me and its not too easy to try on clothes while he is with me, sometimes its not easy to do anything with him because he is always on the go. On occasion I will try things on at the store, like if its something new I am buying style wise or if it is over like $75.00 why waste the time and money for nothing.....

I will alway like to try them on in the shop itself for clothing as I wouldn't want to spent time returning to the shop to change it. Other thing is that I want to make sure that I look good in it before I get it.

I try them on in the shop myself. There are times that I have bought clothes online. Like not long ago I bought myself some new shirts and a few other clothes. They all seemed to fit me pretty good thank goodness.

It is very rarely that we get perfect fitting clothes online. I usually buy atleast 3/4 pairs of clothes at one time. So I just try out one and pick the others of the same size. Am too lazy to try out all in the shop.

i have always hated to clothes shop & trying them on. i use to get in more trouble when my mother would take us shopping, her & my sister would try on everything in the store so it seemed to me. that drove me nuts. i still don't like to do it. i will bring them home if i can. don't buy many clothes anymore, no reason to. thank heavens, lol.

I too hate shopping for clothes. Of late I have bought a few clothes so I checked just one in the shop and asked him to make sure he gave me all in the same size. I did not want to take the trouble of trying out all or going there again and exchanging them.

Hi Mayka....Well while buying ready mades its better to try them on in the shop itself rather than taking them home,trying them on and returning if the fitting is not right......As for me,I do not go much for ready mades and prefer to get my salwar kameez and blouses stitched by my tailor.....

My husband was a designer and me and my daughter had got the best of clothes then. I think we were over pampered and are now not satisfied with anything we buy. We are always comparing the clothes to what we had before. I think I miss him most when I need new clothes....LOL

Oh my it must be really great to have a designer husband......Well who knows better then him ,what clothes will suit his wife and kids......You and Kavi are really lucky to have been pampered by him.....I can imagine how difficult it is for both of you now since you have to fit yourselves into clothes now instead of having clothes made to fit you......I guess you have no choice but to accept this......

I always kind of try the clothes in the shop itself. I am quite fidgety about choosing clothes so its better I try it there. I walk in with 3 clothes (that's the maximum we can take ) and sometimes I have to go for more that 3 times! You can imagine what it goes to change your clothes like that. Still I prefer doing that. I want to go home on a happy face. How are yo dear?

I would not have the patience to go three times into the trial room. That is why I end up very often walking away empty handed from the store. The maximum I would try is two outfits and if I am not satisfied with the fit I just go away. Of late I have been trying to get my clothes stitched from the tailor instead of getting the readymade stuff. For the readymade stuff I always have my office to choose clothes from. We are into western wear which is what I like so if I find something that is a perfect fit for me I just take it!!!

I like to try on things while I am at the store b/c different name brands fit me different so I don't have any idea what size will fit me. yes a round about so I grab 2 sizes to see which one fits best. I hate returning things there are so many crazy policies I rather not have to deal with.

Many do not like the idea of trying on the clothes in the shop. I wonder how one could try the clothes when buying them online!!!!!!!!

Hi i don't really try them at shop either...when i find something of my choice i ask for my size and probably buy it and wear it in the trial room removing the tags.the sales person takes them for billing.well, may be it sounds strange but i really do it on every occasion i got for shopping.

nope..i hate to do any trying clothes in shop! usually i go to store that usually sell free size clothes and just buy it..because the clothes always fit very well with my body..the only clothes that i will try are definitely pants and shoes!i also just guess my body figure if the store don't sell free size clothes because i won't ever try any outfit! it's so tiresome and boring..

I would not mind trying out a 100 shoes before deciding on one but trying out more than two pairs of clothes would be too tiring. I have now found one shop near my office whose clothes give me a perfect fit and I have now started buying all my clothes from that shop. I can conveniently pick it up on my way back home after office hours.

I will try the clothes in the fitting room first. It will be a waste if it doesn't fit me and I won't go back to the shop to change them. That will be embarrassing! If I did buy any unfit clothes, I have to give them to any of my family member, usually my younger sisters (they accept it gladly since it's free~~~)

I very rarely try the clothes in the fitting room. Somehow do not feel comfortable trying out so many clothes. I may try out one and then buy the rest of the same size. If the fitting is later a bit loose I give it to the tailor to alter it. If it is tight then give it to the tailor to make it my daughter's size.

I do not buy clothes without trying them on. I do not like to wear the clothes if they are not the proper size. And I find it troublesome going back to the shop and changing them again. So I always check the clothes and then bring them home.

Yes it is troublesome going back to the shop and changing the clothes. And then again if those dont fit you will have to make a third trip. I always try to get a bigger size and then give them to the tailor to alter if the size is not proper.

I try it there itself. I go to shops with a trial room when I want to buy a ready made outfit. But if the shop and stuff is nice then maybe I will try at home. Especially if they offer exchange scheme.

Most of the time I try them on in the store. If there are a lot of people and you have to waitte in line to be able to try them on I will most likely go back later, or if I really like the clothes I will take them home to try them on. I don't like going back to exchange stuff because I feel it's extra unnessairy time to waste. So if possible I try it on in the store or I come back later. Whether to come back to exchange or to try them on doesn't make that much difference so I rather have the option not to get back storecredit if I find out that it's not the size that makes this piece of clothing not look right on me, but the piece of clothing itsself is unflattering.

Unless the store is an hour away, I prefer to buy clothes that I believe are my size, and if they don't fit I take them back. Most people who shop with me just don't understand this. But I can't tell whether I like the clothes or not with those stupid dressing room mirrors. I haven't been clothes shopping in a while, but I'll probably stay this way. I much prefer taking them home and risking having to take them back.

I always try clothes on in the shop, I got tired of having to return them because they didn't fit when I got home. It takes a little longer, but I always make sure I visit the fitting room before I buy, saves time and money, you don't have to go back to the store later.

I'm afraid I'm not into clothes shopping, and I usually wait until my things have actually fallen apart before I replace them. Then, I go to the shop, choose something big and baggy which I know will fit - and that's that. I wouldn't take anything back if it didn't fit, though. I prefer to spend my money on books (or food)!

i would prefer trying on clothes first in the store. unless of course i'm familiar with the brand i'm buying and i know what they mean when they say medium. based from experience different brands have different meanings for their sizes. like i can still wear teen clothes made locally but it would be in xl. teen clothes made abroad is medium for me. preggy clothes, which i admire eventhough i'm not pregnant, because of the elastic waist of their jeans and most of the time absence of zippers which i hate because they bulge, would warrant that i take preggy jeans in small. i also love preggy polo shirts sine they're very light in the cloth that they use and they accomodate my tummy which is a little bit bigger now due to the preganacy that i had. preggy polo shirts would also mean small for me.

I always try clothes on at the shop first and then as soon as I get home I try them on again just to make sure.
