I'm a regular shopper on ASOS.co.uk as I don't always get free time to go shopping in the highstreet. The other day, my parcel came and one of my friends (who is probably about a size 16) had never really heard of ASOS. I explained to her that it was an online clothing store, and she told me she wouldn't have known because she never shops online. When I asked her why, she claimed that because she is overweight she doesn't trust the sizing on online clothing stores.

It surprised me, and I just wondered, if any of you are larger ladies, do you shop online for clothes and if not why??

Thanks

I buy things from highstreet shops' websites when I know how the sizing is, but no I'd never buy from online-exclusive webshops. Sizing seems to differ from place to place, and if nothing else there'd be at least something I'd buy that wouldn't fit and I'd never get round to sending it back :/

I've always bought clothes online. Many places off free returns so if it doesn't fit I send it back. I've always found ASOS sizes to be pretty hit and miss as I can fit in some of their size 10 jeans and not others (same brand) where as Next always seem to be quite generous in theirs.
