"This dress doesn't look good on me!"

I have never had this problem because I usually make sure that the outfit is exactly what I want, but know many women who only try on the dress for a minute, hurry home with it, and then realize the mistake.

Hi, Chocolatelle, this makes me laugh because its happened to me many times. What i do now is i bring along a friend that has good taste. A female. LOL I will try the dress on and i make her swear she will tell me the truth, so help her God. She agrees and we go out and she already knows i want something that is slimming. I try on the stuff and she is truthful to me, sometimes too truthful, but i appreciate it. I cant rely on my husband, or my sons, so this is the only way i know of getting a truthful second opinion! Good luck.

Hi chocolatelle! I'm a picky person, in all things. In buying clothes, I am also very picky and it take me a long time to choose. I don't buy clothes that I haven't tried yet, that's why every time I saw a clothes that I like, I always try it in the fitting room. I will not buy it if I don't look good wearing it. In a situation where I already bought it and when I tried at home it doesn't looks good, I will return it and replace with another one. I will not force myself to wear something that I will not look good. Well, this is how I am in choosing clothes to wear. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

Hi chocolattelle, It happenned to me a couple of times when I was young. I remember that later on I was very mad ay myself. So that I decided to think a bit (before buying anything) what kind of clothes NEVER looked really well on me. I discovered the neck cut that suited me best, the lines (vertical for me), the colours. Then when I went shopping and I fell in love with a dress, I looked at it, tried it on and then went to a tea shop for a cup od coffee. If I was with someone, I´d talk it over with her (the "hims" are not good helpers), if I was alone, I talked to myself. Then I went back to the store and tried it on again. Many times, the first glow had vanished and it did not pass the test. I still do my shopping this way. And I have some clothes that hve 20 years and I still use them. They always made me feel well and if treated well they last long. I also think that part of my clothes have to be very classical so that I always have something to wear from one year to the other. Then I can buy a little gadget to make it look new (a scarf, a piece of fake jewelry) Happy posting!

I think a lot of women have done this more than once in their lives, and the idea is "but it looked really good on the manequin!" Hehehehe. I think it was more of, I just can't believe that it doesn't look good on me, so I'll still buy it cause maybe it's just the mirror, or maybe I'm just fat that day. Hehehehe. Good think I have 2 others sisters, so if it doesn't really good on me, then there is still a chance that it would fit my sisters better. Hehe.

Hello, before I decide to buy clothes, I always try it in the previously in the "FIX-ROOM". I never buy clothes via online, because it is hard to assure they are suitable with my body. Have a nice day. Best wishes,

I have had that kind of experiences many times. I'd buy clothes that look good when I first fitted but when already home I would see the clothes did not really look good as I first thought. Well I am glad that now we can always return the clothes within seven days or sometimes even more than seven days depending on the policy of the shop. So I always make it a point to keep my receipts so that I could return any clothes that I want returned. For as long as I've not really used the clothes and it is still within the seven days grace period and i have the receipt as proof of purchase then I really have nothing to worry.

Hey! i think lot of us face this once or twice when it comes to clothing.same with me.Now i learned a few things from those experiences.I always take time before buying anything.I think more than twice and try too before buying.We usually love clothes color or fabric type or something else in the first look and later one can really see how it looks when wearing the same piece.so that is my strategy.

Hi there ! Manequins have been made to be models. We often see them with beutiful clothes and it is really nice looking them. In buying clothes we must not be impulsive. let's imagine oursleves if the dress fits our skin tone, figure etc.. The best way to be satisfied in purchasing clothes is to fit it in the fitting room. Get a lot of dresses and try if it fits and look nice on you. You can bring friends with you and ask their comment if the one you are wearing looks good on you. Hope that helps !!!

Yeah, it happened to me a couple of times, I think it has happened to every girl almost. The sad thing is, there is not really much you can do about it. You just need to live with the fact that not every purchase you make will be a successful one.
