Once you arrive on a site, next it's time to see what sizes are available. Most plus size sites will indicate what their size ranges are on the very first page.
Check the top, side, or bottom margins for the size chart. Some sites will have their misses and plus size charts separate. Others will identify their plus sizes as women sizes.
In some cases you may have to go to the plus size site's Site Map to find the size chart. The size chart is one of the most unnoticeable features on a site.
It should probably bethe other way around. If a web site has manydifferent sizes of dresses, the size chart should stand out. If a store can accommodate the masses I say flaunt it.
The size chart may give an indication of what type of dresses are best for certain shapes.
Some sites you're able to search on the fashion site by size, shape, fabric, or color.
Some size charts will depict different shapes with fruits and vegetables. (i.e. pear, onion, etc.) These sites normally will tell you which outfits goes best on what shape.
Lets say you find a plus size dress that you like, the next thing to do is see what dress sizes are available.
In some cases you may want to write this information down.
Some plus sizes will run either larger or smaller than what we're used to buying in the stores. When you identify which plus or women sizes are available, the next thing to do is go to the size chart and take your measurements with a tape measure. The size chart will tell you how to measure yourself in most cases.
Match your chest, waist, and hip measurements to the size chart. If you find that you're larger in a particular area, you may have to go up one size.
Rule of thumb: always go up a size if you're between sizes. I ordered a plus size evening dress online two months ago and had to go up one size due the my hips not matching what was on the size chart. The dress fit perfectly due to going up one size!
If we really think about it, people have been ordering like this for years. We actually take the same steps for catalog ordering and for finding the right size for a sewing pattern.
Well ladies, hope this takes some of the fear out of shopping online.
It's actually easier. There’s no traffic, no one bumps you in the aisles, the kids aren’t lost under the racks, and the fitting room being full isn't a factor. Enjoy the less stressful shopping experience!
