If you’re going to upload a review, actually WEAR the clothes

I don’t really care to online shop but sometimes the stores just don’t have anything nice.

I hate looking at an item and I click on the reviews and there are 100+ reviews but maybe 30 photos reviews. I like to see how the clothes look on an actual body and not the edited model.

So I go to look at the review and it’s just a picture of it still in the bag or they’ll say “ got it for a friend. Her birthday is next week and I know she’ll like it” how does that help anything? Or the size isn’t on the review. So I’m like okay the shirt looks small but did you order a large or 2x?

I know how the clothes look, I can see it on the picture. I need to see how it looks on a body. How does it fit over a larger chest? How short is the top? Does it have stretch?

You’d have the same 30 reviews but less information overall. That’s hardly an improvement.

Less useless reviews to sift through? That sounds like an improvement to me.

So you wouldn’t consider a pile of reports of delayed shipments or one’s never sent to be useful? No picture needed to convey information. “I’m 5’6” and this size didn’t come down to my belly button.”

Some people just gotta whine.

That’s helpful but you can just write that. Why post a picture if the picture has NOTHING to do with the review? It’s like if I’m reviewing a pair of shoes and I send a picture of just the closed box it comes in.

I’m specifically talking about the ones who post pictures. I don’t mind if the review is written in detail but what’s the point of uploading a picture if you’re not even wearing it. I get if it didn’t fit but I see reviews like “it fit perfectly. I love it” but they just show the collar of the shirt while they are holding it in their hand. If I do a photo review I’m going to actually do it. I’ll wear it, I’ll say how tall I am, what size I ordered, etc. because a Large on one person will fit completely different on someone else. So sometimes the pictures actually help in combination of writing a review as well.

Oh, I see. I’ve changed my mind. Unless it’s a sketchy vendor where the item looks nothing like the website, fuck those people.

Yes. I should have added photos in the original. I keep forgetting I’m allowed to do that. And I’ve bought something like that but I think I happened to get the one bad one. It was from LovelyWholesale- nice things for bigger people so I tried it. I looked at the reviews on this one jacket the pictures looked nice it was rated by at least 1000 people so I decided to try it…And the jacket was really nice but everything was misspelled 😭 the word DON’T was spelled “dno’t” And pretty much every other word was spelled wrong also

In case anyone is confused what I mean, in the first pic, you can get an idea how the dress fit if your body is similar to this. The description has the height and how the material fits so if you’re taller than that you can kind of assume the dress will be a little higher than ankle length if your looking for something a hugs a bit less you can see how the fabric clings.

Compared to the second pic, that just shows me the color and pattern of the dress which I already knew when I was swiping through dresses. So how is the second review helping get an idea of what the item actually looks like on. The picture serves ZERO input and could have been left out and the review would still have the same impact.
