Bamboo clothing returns and how to check fit first

Short answer: Bamboo clothing returns depend on the shop's terms, so read them before you order. The best way to avoid a return is to check the fit first: measure yourself, compare with clothes you own and read the size guide. That is how you end up with the right size.

Bamboo clothing returns, what to know first

Terms for returns and exchanges differ from shop to shop, so always check those of the shop you buy from. Look at how long you have, whether the clothes must be unworn and who pays for postage. It takes a minute to read and saves you surprises if the size turns out wrong.

Measure yourself before choosing a size

Use a tape measure and measure around bust, waist and hips without pulling tight. Write the numbers down and compare them with the size guide on the product page. If you fall between two sizes, read the fit description. Do this before you order, especially if you want to see bamboo clothing for women in several models.

Compare with clothes you already own

The easiest way is to lay a garment you know and like flat on the floor and measure the width and length. Compare those measurements with the ones in the guide. That tells you more than a letter size, because brands cut differently. Do it for the pieces you wear most, such as t-shirts and underwear.

Read about the fabric before you order

The fabric affects the fit. A fabric with a little stretch gives with the body, while one without stretch sits as it was cut. Viscose from bamboo is soft and falls naturally, but can grow slightly longer with wear. Read the fabric description and choose a size you can live with before and after washing.

Try the clothes on at home the right way

When the parcel arrives, try the clothes on indoors on a clean floor and without removing the tags. Move around: raise your arms, sit down, bend forward. If it sits well, you can keep it. If you are unsure, let it hang for a day and see whether you are still happy before you wear it.

Keep the packaging and tags

If you need to return or exchange, many shops require clothes without signs of wear and with tags on. Keep the packaging until you are sure you are keeping the clothes. Do not wear them outdoors, and avoid perfume and washing before you have decided. Then you are ready if the plan changes.

Socks and small items

Small items like socks often have a reliable size guide, and the fit is easy to judge from your shoe size. Look at socks for women and choose by your foot size. Try one pair if you are unsure before ordering more. A close fit without squeezing is the goal.

When the fit falls right in between

If you fall between two sizes, choose by how the piece will be used. For a layer under other clothes the closer size can be best, and for a looser look the larger one may suit. When you look at bamboo T-shirts for women, the description of the cut can help you choose.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if it fits before I order?

Measure yourself, compare with the size guide and with a garment you already own. Read the fabric description too, because stretch and cut affect the fit.

Can I always exchange clothes that do not fit?

It depends on the shop's terms. Read them before you buy and look for the time limit, condition requirements and postage costs. Keep tags and packaging until you are sure.

Should I go bigger or smaller if I am in between?

It depends on the use. For a layer under other clothes the smaller may fit, and for a looser look the larger may be better. Read the description of the cut.
