Know your measurements

This will make your life so much easier. All online shops provide a size index. For example if you were looking up online dresses in Singapore the site would supply not only the measurements but the different sizing charts for varying countries. Don’t threat though if you get something that doesn’t fit or doesn’t look the way you expected. Keep the tag on and you’ll be able to return it. Depending on the online shop you may have to pay for the postage for the return.
