Reviews that mention long term use are more valuable than comments written on day one. Online shopping will always have a bit of risk, but experience makes it easier. Even big and famous brands sometimes send generic replies that are not very helpful. From my experience, communication with the store can tell you a lot. Otherwise they become clutter in the closet after the trend is over.

If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

Personally I like a mix of design, comfort and realistic pricing. Sometimes I experiment with different materials just to see how they feel in daily life. Sometimes I still make mistakes with size, so a friendly exchange policy is very helpful. Clear product descriptions save time and reduce the chance of disappointment. When a store shows clear shoulder width, bust, waist and length, it is much easier to choose.

Just sharing my personal feedback.
