Am I the only one who struggles with online shopping? Like with measurements for example, I don’t know what there talking about or if the clothes will be the right size. How does everyone else get around this?

    I generally buy almost everything online, but clothes are one exception to that. I generally have 1 or 2 brands of clothes I normally purchase, but even within those two brands, size can vary quite a bit, especially after they’ve been washed a few times.

    I can buy two different size 36 pants from my favorite brand, and after washing, one fits comfortably, and the other only fits if I leave them unbuttoned. Being able to test them in-person at least gives me a general idea of if they’re still going to fit after they go through the dryer.

      I’ve been thinking. Should I open a clothes store? That’s the one thing that isn’t threatened by the internet. It’s not like other things you don’t know how something will fit you through a computer screen.
