So here I was whining and complaining - and then this morning my dresses arrived!
I felt a bit sorry for the express delivery guy, because it was 07:15 and I was barely awake...and threw my WKD robe on top my nightt-shirt and opened the door and glared at him (I just didn´t see that much without glasses either) and he just grinned and said:
"I thought I heard some noise"
The dresses were absolutely beautiful, and I was happy and singing all day! Don´t tell me retail therapy doesnt work!!

Continuing buying online thread
I have a particular fondness for old time glamour - the 50´s in particurlarly. So I have to go online to get my fashion fix satisfied...Yes, admittedly there are a few stores selling retro glamour in Stockholm, but they are pretty expensive to be honest, and buying online is a way to cut costs and at the same time be a little less worried that you will meet someone else in that same expensive dress...
My number one advice is MEASURE!!!
Any company selling on-line with an ambition to be taken serious has a sizechart. In that sizechart you find the measurements, and when you take them - BE HONEST! If your boobies are 33 inches a size 8 dress won´t fit. It just won´t. End of story.
But remember too, that if the seller says there´s a lot of stretch in the garment it probably is. I prefer to go for stretchy stuff or dresses with circleskirts as I am a very curvy girl with a slim waist and a huge bum. Regular standardsizes won´t fit unless they are stretchy or hiding...
Pay by secure payment, which all serious companies offer these days. If they don´t its probably a good idea to stay away. Especially if a credit card is included in the transactions. I prefer Paypal, but thats a matter of choice.
Saying that I have to admit that the two times I have had fraud on my card it has been in connection with hotels both times. And how are you supposed to stop that, I wonder?
Don´t be afraid to return stuff if it doesnt fit. Serious companies accept returns within 10 days from the day you received the garment. I have to admit I have rarely sent something back, even when I wasn´t 100 % sure, but then I usually have a hard time to make up my mind....
Think twice.
Its so easy to be seduced by something on the Internet. It looks great on that skinny 6 feet tall model with the shiny blond curls and huge breasts. But if you are 5 ft 4 and curvy and a redhead, maybe you shuld have second thoughts? Things rarely sell out in a flash, so sleep on it before you order.
Actually I read somewhere that the debts of women are increasing quickly, because we are prone to internet-shopping. So sleep on it for two nights at least!
