hey babes !
This email is referring to the Bust issues that everyone is having in the past few write-ups =) I am a buyer and online shop owner as well.
I do have a normal M size body, but my bust is huge as well, therefore buying online dresses or tops might be a prob for me. I mean Common Sense, for those who have odd sizes body and decides to buy online, i guess its just a risk that you will have to take. I personally do not think its fair that you try, and if it doesn't fit, you want the owner to buy it back from you. As everyone knows, the reason we buy or sell online, is for convenience and CHEAP, Therefore, NO Trying or Return & Refund allowed. If you know that you cant fit into the Normal Free Size clothes, why want to ask the owner, trying your luck, and when the owner say most prob can, you buy it. After trying it and than you wan to return it? How fair is that?
I ve bought dresses and top from a few online boutiques. Out of 10 pcs, I cant fit into 4 due to my bust size. But i do not return or ask for a refund because i know its my problem and not the clothes or the owner's problem
As an owner of a blogshop, i purposely take in clothes that are Free sizes and mostly Stretchable so it can fit mostly S to L sizes. Referring to people who hates Free Sizes without measurements, let me ask you this question? Do i measure it without anyone wearing or do I measure it after i wear it and stretch it? Which one do you want me to post up? The measurements will definitely varies depending on who wears it right since its stretchable?
I guess its human nature whereby no matter how accurate we try to give the measurements, it will still differ a little here and there and I truly understand that if it does not look nice, ppl intend to return.
No intention to offend anyone ya !
XOXO,
"Bust Problems"
Hi :)
I'm reader 159/Busty Babe. My issue with Free Size blogshops isn't so much the measurements, but the fact that some blogshops tag their clothing as Free Size without any further explanation as to what size range does the clothing really fit (S-L/M-L/UK6-10/etc).
From what I've observed, not all Free Size clothing fit S-L bodies. Some fit on M-L, while others look best on XS-small M sized girls.
Thus, I don't think it's fair to customers that blogshops tag their clothing as Free Size only, without further sizing guidelines such as S-L or UK8-12, unless it's the blogshops' standard policy that most clothes are a certain size and this is clearly stated in a prominent place on the website.
This is because customers are not allowed to try on the clothes unlike in a physical boutique, and they can only rely on the online sellers' judgment and descriptions. If an item is just tagged Free Size, sellers are not offering further descriptions or judgments on the size to help buyers asses if the item would fit them.
It might potentially save a lot of disappointment and frustration to both sellers and buyers if blogshops could clearly state a size range (S-L/U6-12) based on standard sizing guidelines instead of just Free Size as cutting and "stretchiness" may differ from one clothing item to another.
I don't think sellers should wait until customers enquire whether a Free Size item can fit an L or XS sized body, only to tell them that the item might be a bit tight/loose on them. Just state outright in the blogshop that the item fits best on S-M/UK6-10 gals.
Hope I didn't offend anyone, especially sellers, as I appreciate the effort you gals put into your online business.
