Walking into a clothing store and purchasing an item off the rack does has its benefits. For example, you can walk out with the item on the same day. However, if you were to place an order for an item you will not be able to walk out with that item on the same day as you may have to wait a few days or even a few weeks. Yet, despite the wait, ordering an item does have its benefits instead of purchasing it directly off the rack.
When you select a piece of clothing off the rack you cannot always be sure that it will fit. Due to the cut of the dress or your body shape the item may not fit perfectly. Even if it fits well is certain places it may not fit well on other areas of your body. For example, a dress you select may fit well on the body but it may be too tight in the chest area or it may fit well all around but the length of the dress may be too short. Of course, certain alterations such as adding darts can be done on certain dresses as this will make the dress fit better on your body and you can even add an extra piece of fabric and extend the length of the dress to make it longer. However, depending on the style and fit of the dress caring out alterations may be difficult and if done wrong it could even ruin the shape of the dress taking away its look. Therefore placing an order for a dress may be a safer option. When placing an order, instead of having to settle with a fit that you are not comfortable with you can instead give your measurements and get the dress made according to your measurements. For example, if you are looking for womens polo shirts but if the stores that you visit do not have your size you can then opt to place an order ofby giving your measurements.
Placing an order for items of clothing also enables you to pick the colours you want. Certain clothing stores may allow customers a chance to pick the colours they want for their order by selecting from various fabric swatches. This means that you do not have to settle for the colours that are available on the rack as you can select a colour that you prefer.
Picking the colour you want also enables you to decide on which fabrics you prefer. This is an advantage because if the days are hot you can opt to pick soft thin fabrics which will likely make you more comfortable. However, if you are purchasing an item off the rack and if the only fabric’s left is thick and itchy ones then you may have no choice but to settle for the ones in stock. Therefore placing an order does have its benefits as it allows you more variety to select from.
