Reader 159

Hi FT,

This is in loose reference to Reader 153 & seller, n from my personal experience shopping online.

As a rather busty girl, I'm sometimes wary of buying from blogshops because my body size is not typical. My size ranges from mid UK10- large UK 12 based on the cutting of the item.

Thus, it can be hard to decide whether what I see online will fit me based on the standard UK sizing guide adopted by almost all blogshops. I find that measurements (apart from length) don't really help as well, though I appreciate the efforts of sellers to provide such measurements for their customers.

Therefore, I would like to suggest that buyers in the same situation clearly state the problems they have with bust size and provide sellers with as much info as possible regarding their concerns.

Usually, sellers provide quite accurate n ethical comments on whether an item will fit, provided the customer has given them enough info. I've dealt with some wonderful sellers who even got their friends to try on the clothes to see if it would fit on my body type.

On the issue of free size clothing, I personally find it irritating when sellers state "Free Size" without providing additional sizing guidelines.

There is really no standard policy on this issue. For one blogshop, the policy might be that free size denotes S-L size. However, for another blogshop, free size might be any size range, and it's marked free size only because there are no size tags on the clothing.

I find this especially common in ready stocks/pre order of Taiwan clothing. The items are usually quite small but listed as free size all the same. Thus, how are customers to gauge what size "free size" really is?

I don't mean to offend, but sometimes it just seems that sellers who list sizes as "Free Size" or do not provide sizes at all, are too lazy or ignorant of clothing sizes to provide a proper size range to customers.

Lastly, a round of applauseand much thanks to u if u've managed to read through my long winded comments :)

Basically, I just hope there will be better interaction between sellers n customers, to eliminate misunderstandings n dissatisfaction.

Cheers!
