Kids, particularly toddlers and pre-teens, outgrow clothes very quickly, be it pants, sweaters or shirts. The apparel that was perfectly fitting last month is suddenly not fitting this month. Nowadays, with the usage of internet by many people, many online stores are selling children’s clothing like designer baby clothes, paper wings clothing and cakewalk clothing. So, the parents need not worry about shopping of dress materials for their kids. The presence of online stores has made shopping easier and comfortable. They can save their precious time and also money by following certain tips while they are doing online shopping for their kid’s clothing.

Here, we will see some of the tips for buying children’s clothing from online stores:

o The first and foremost thing is the check the reliability of the web site chosen by you for purchasing clothes for your kids. This can be done through the source from where you got their URL or you can also contact their existing customers, if possible.

o If possible, you can ask for some sample clothes since you can see just the picture of the clothes while placing the order.

o It is better to get your doubt clarified regarding the mode of payment since you are going to give your credit card details or account details to them.

o Also make clear whether any extra cost will be added to the cost of the cloth for home delivery. There are many Children’s boutiques offering free home delivery. So you can select these online stores.

o Do not forget to compare the cost of the dress material selected by you with the cost specified by other online stores. For instance, if you are planning to select cakewalk clothing for your kid, you can compare the cost of the same material with other online stores to check whether you are paying the perfect price.

o Check whether the web site is giving quality assurance for color, embroidery work, etc.

Indian Women’s Clothing - The Myths!

Posted on by

Indian women clothing has been a fascination for not only Indians but worldwide. However, nowadays, it seems Indian woman is slowly distancing herself from the traditional Indian sarees and other Indian dresses. With due respect to all western and other clothes adopted by the women in India, it seems that she has certain misconceptions about the dresses of her own country. This article brings out the reality behind these fashion myths about Indian clothing.

Myth#1    Saree is so unprofessional!

Reality    It is true that it takes a little longer to drape a saree and it also requires more care and maintenance. However, sari can never be said unprofessional. If draped properly, saree brings an unparalleled grace to one’s personality. How else can you justify the charm of great personalities like Indira Gandhi, Gayatri Devi and more contemporary Sonia Gandhi? True, they are politicians and need to be seen as true Indian and so they can’t shed the traditional Indian clothing! Then how will you justify the business personalities like Chanda Kochhar, the Joint MD of ICICI Bank and Neelam Dhawan, the MD, Microsoft India who are rarely seen in other dresses than saree. And no one can debate over how professional and successful top business executives are they!

Myth#2    Salwar Kameez is not for modern women!

Reality    There you see a girl clad in salwar kameez and here you give her the tag ‘behen ji’. However, every girl secretly admires the fabulous churidars and patialas worn by their fellow beings. Fashion designers are doing more and more experiments with this fabulous attire of India. Models on ramps flaunt their designer salwar kameez. How could it happen then? If its not for today’s woman, why the fashion industry wasting so much of its manpower and money on designing these salwar kameez? And I thought business runs on demand and supply principle and also that today’s woman is 100 percent a modern woman.

Myth#3    Wearing skirts is non Indian!

Reality    Here people don’t accept the salwar kameez and there they say that skirts are against traditional values of India! But look at them carefully, don’t you find any resemblance between Indian skirts and lehenga? The long skirts are more like lehengas but with a little lesser diameter. Yes, one more difference- skirt is worn with shirts while lengha is worn with choli and dupatta. Did I hear someone saying stoles with skirts?

Myth#4    If you are slim, you’ll look good in any clothing!

Reality    This myth prevails all over the world and not only in India. Although being slim provides an advantage of looking good in most of the dresses but if you wear a saree without proper pleets and pallu setting, I swear, you’ll not like yourself in the mirror! Wear a blouse which is either too loose or too tight, and you finish off the whole charm of an elegant saree.  And just try a badly stitched salwar kameez to see how it coverts you in a hanger with clothes on it instead of a girl with lovely curves! The mantra to look good is ofcourse a good figure and properly stitched and worn dresses, whether Indian or western.

How to Get the Best Deals on Boutique Girls Clothing Online

Posted on by

It seems like these days more and more people shop for boutique girls clothing online. What’s not to love about online shopping? You can do it in the comfort of your home or on the go any time of day. You can take your time to carefully select cute girls outfits. You don’t have to wait in traffic and checkout lines. Plus, you can make sure you are getting the best deal possible! In the paragraphs below, I will provide a few useful tips on how to make sure you are getting the best deal on boutique girls clothing when you are shopping online.

  1. Look for websites with customer loyalty programs. If you shop online regularly, it’s a good idea to select a handful of websites that you like with good customer loyalty programs. Most customer loyalty programs allow you to receive cash back on your purchases or accumulate points that you can later redeem for store credits and coupons. A good customer loyalty program will give you about 5% back in store credit and will have very few or no exclusions.

  2. Get free shipping. When you are selecting your online retailers, look for those with free shipping options. Some have free shipping on any order. Most websites, however, will offer free shipping on orders over a certain amount. Getting free shipping is always a great way to save a little bit on your online order. Most shipping options on clothing starts at about $6 and go up from there.

  3. Follow email and social media updates. Once you select the websites you like, make sure to sign up to receive their email newsletters. Most online girls clothing boutiques send out about two newsletters a week. Those newsletters contain information about promotions, sales and new arrivals. In addition, follow your favorite websites on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and so on. Many online retailers announce special offers using social media websites. Oftentimes, the only way to find out about those offers is to follow the retailers on social media sites.

  4. Search the web for coupons. Use search engines to look for coupons and special offers from your favorite girls clothing boutiques. Your search will look something like this “http://www.MyFavoriteBoutique.com coupon code”. You will be surprised by how many search results will come up! Be prepared to find expired or invalid coupon codes. But more often than not your will discover a good deal on boutique girls clothing.

  5. Make a phone call. If you are still not able to find a coupon code or a special offer on boutique girls clothing, call the company and just ask. If you found a cute girls outfit for less somewhere else, ask if your favorite boutique will match the price. You can even ask for free shipping if you are only a few dollars away from free shipping threshold!

  6. Wait for sales. If you are not in a rush to get that really cute outfit for your girl, you can wait for permanent sales or holiday sales. The best times of the year to get the great deals on cute kids clothes are right before or after Easter, Memorial Day weekend, Monthers Day weekend, back-to-school weekend, Labor Day weekend, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and right before and after Christmas. Also be on the lookout for end-of-season sales. Depending on the brand you are shopping for, one thing to keep in mind is that boutique girls clothing is produced in very limited quantities and often sells out before it goes on sale.

I hope you will find these tips helpful. Let me know if they worked for you!
