Do you get your clothes hemmed or altered to fit better?

Feb 1, 2012 6:11 PM

I love bargains as much as the next Wooter, but I'm beginning to realize that I'll buy something that doesn't fit quite right just because it's too great of a deal to pass up. I'll then tell myself I'll get it hemmed (it's usually with bottoms since I'm 5'0"). Out of laziness and not wanting to spend an extra $14 per item, I now have a pile of brand new clothes I haven't worn once.

Do you get your clothes altered to fit and do you factor in the cost when shopping? Or do you just spend the extra time, effort and/or money looking for clothes that fit right to begin with?

I absolutely put in the extra effort to find stuff that fits before I buy. If it doesn't fit well then I won't wear it, so it wouldn't have been a good deal at any price! I only very rarely order clothes online for this reason. I would only do it if it was something I tried in the store and I needed a different color, or if I knew the brand very well and was confident it would fit or I could return it.

I have to get my work pants hemmed, they just don't make them so that they fit me appropriately for business attire. Can't be stepping on the bottom of my pants all day. But that's the only case, I otherwise will never buy something that doesn't fit (but I'm also much more flexible with casual clothes...don't really mind rolling up my jeans).

I never bought anything that did not fit, but when I was working and clothing appearance was a priority, I did have my clothes tailored quite a few times.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
