Bend and Stretch

When you’re trying something on in the changeroom….move around.

Don’t just stand still in front of the mirror and assume this is how the piece will look and feel when you get it home.

Twist, stretch, bend, lean, squat and sit.

Sure you might feel silly, but trust me, you’ll be so pleased you did it when you discover the difference moving around can make.

Get an idea of how much the fabric will stretch after you’ve been wearing it for a while.

Determine how comfortable it will or won’t be.

Is it too short, too tight, too baggy, too creased or too revealing?

Consider how, when and where you plan on wearing it.  Will it work for that?

Have a good look in the mirror at how the clothes appear from every angle – side, back and front.

Take your time in the changeroom.  Don’t feel pressured to try something on quickly.  If there is a long queue of people waiting and you are not sure whether you love the piece and/or whether it’s flattering, take some to think about it and then return later to try it on again.

You don’t want to get home, try it on and realise that it’s not right and then have to return it.

Remember….bend and stretch.
