Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

How do you guys decide on what size clothing to buy when you're shopping online.

There are a few online-only stores I'd like to try, but they don't have free returns.

I'm not a woman so I don't have much experience with women's clothes, but I my experience may still be useful. I generally don't buy clothes online because I'm worried stuff won't fit. Might seem like guy's pants should be the same since theoretically they are in inches. In practice, that's not been the case for me. Same problem with shoes.

Shirts, socks, and underwear are about the only things pretty safe to get online, assuming it's US sizing. If it's Asian sizing, very difficult to find out what will fit.

Aside from that, even if a site offered free refunds/returns, the amount of emissions caused by all the shipping really turns me off.
