Know your body type. A $10,000 dress is never going to look good on the wrong body type. So a $15 Amazon dress sure as heck won't look good!

 

An example of this would be, lets say you have a very broad shoulders, but you decide to buy a strapless dress. Now, this silhouette is never going to be flattering on you because of your broad shoulders.

 

So when buying on Amazon make sure you are staying strictly within the silhouettes that look good for your specific body type. Because it’s hard enough buying clothing online, unseen in person. Stick to shapes you know work for your body type.

 

If you're wondering what your body type is and what silhouettes look best on your body type you can download your free "What's My Body Type?" guide here. It also has suggestions for clothes that specifically flatter each unique body type!

​

(Part two) of rule number one: to pay close attention to the fit of the garment. Let’s say you look really good in a high waisted trouser. So you search high waisted trouser on Amazon. I want you to look very closely at the way that trouser fits on the model (and better yet on the real people who post review photos). Does the waistline look nice, or does it look like it is rolling under, or is uneven. How do the pockets sit? Are they gapping? If the fit looks off, skip it!
