Selling Women's Apparel
Tsai seconded the value of testing samples for those new to selling women's apparel. "If time permits, I would buy a full size run in the style that your customer is interested in so that they can touch, feel and try on, because all styles and brands fit a bit differently," she said. "A woman who generally wears a size 6 may find that she likes the size 4 better in a certain style because of the styling or the fabric. There are certain fabrics that hug the body and others that drape better and are more forgiving," she explained. "At Tri-Mountain, we try and make it easy and allow sample returns within 30 days with no restock fee, so you can get a full size run into your customer's hands. This works much better than trying to return/reorder different sizes later on, especially if you are planning on having the items decorated!"
