1. It fits the model, so it would fit me.
The model has a different body shape, size, and even complexion. So because it looks good on the model doesn't guarantee that it is going to look good on you, too. Some clothes will look good in every size and shape, but there are exceptions to those. So when buying a dress online, have it at the back of your mind that your body shape is also an important factor in considering before going for them.
2. Not checking and understanding the sizing system used by the brand.
Not checking and understanding the sizing system used by the brand can be a great risk. Check the size table, it might differ from the one you know as there are many sizing systems in the world. The most acceptable one is the EU sizing system, but it is still subject to change on the website you are ordering from. There are many standard sizing systems to consider. You can check the search on google for further clarification. Whatever sizing system is being used, ensure you know yours already. It is not so hard to know, here is a guideline down here. It will be easier for you to order than simply judging by the picture you see.
3. Not checking for star ratings and reviews.
Check for reviews and star ratings. This is important for fashion items that will be imported from another country. Every product will certainly have a positive and negative review because there is a negative review doesn't make the product so bad. All you have to do is to check for the ratio between the positive and negative. Once the positive is way more than the negative, if there are no other options, you are good to go. If there is a product without a negative review, this is truly the best option. If there are more negatives than positives, then be very careful.
4. Not checking out for icons that signify the care instructions.
This is the best way to know how to take care of whatever you are buying from that website. Its care instruction might be what you cannot handle or grab hold of at that moment. Whatever it is, it is safer to know the care instructions beforehand before it. Some websites might not have this, just make your research online.
5. Not putting the fabric into consideration.
This is necessary for cases where your body measurement doesn't fall under a particular size, your body measurement is between 2 different sizes. If the fabric is a spandex fabric, so it is stretchy/knitted, you can go for the smallest of the 2 sizes. For woven fabrics, which are not stretchy, you can go for the other bigger size which can be perfectly slim fitted or tailored.
6) Ignoring the return and exchange policy
Check for the policies associated with the brand. Some brands will state that there is no refund or no return of goods that have been paid for already. This is a hint that you have to be very careful in whatever choice you are making.
7) Not checking for a secured website:
Wherever you see: HTTP/s, know that it is a secured website. The "s" means that it is secured. A website without the "s" might signify that you should be very careful.
