Things to consider before ordering a dress from the internet.

From the point of alterations view, you have to consider few thing before you order a garment online.



Size

There are so many different sizes in the world. You have to know your measurement. At first measure your bust then compare to the size chart then you will know your exact size. If encase you don’t find the dress of your size then make sure you buy a bigger dress rather than a smaller one. You can always make it smaller.
You can find out about your body type go to:



Embroidery

The dress which has lot of embroidery in waist area and have embroidery on hem, it will cost you fortune to alter! Because, it might have done after dress was made. So when they do the job it will all stuck in with lining and outside materials that makes alteration hard and almost impossible. Sometimes the price of alteration becomes more than the price of dress.



Sequence:
 The dress with sequence is much easier to alter than embroidery. But still bit harder than the normal dress.


Too many cuts: 
Too many cuts in the waist area are quite hard to alter. Just to get the stripe done you have to undo the whole under bust and waist area.


Hem Emphasized dress:

The dress which has lot of details on the hem is also very hard to alter. In such case you have to get something simple in the waist area so that you can take up the hem from the waist. The picture below of white dress is easier to alter than the dress having the

No cut: Dress which is not cut in the middle is the easiest dress to alter.

Under arm:
Dress with bigger under arm cannot be fixed properly. If you make it smaller then it will be hard to raise your arm, if you have sleeve, then it will start to get too tight on your bust area.


Collar:
 If the collar is too small then it is not fixable. The only thing you can do is make a make a new collar. So make sure you measure your neck area before you buy a jacket or a shirt.


Pant crotch:
Pant crotch is the part like armhole. If it is too big then it is not quite fixable. We can alter it a bit but it will become too tight to open your leg. The only thing you can do is, fixing it by adding another fabric. Hence do not buy too baggy pant if you don’t like baggy stuff. One size bigger could be fixed but not more than one size.


Good luck to find the best one for you!
