What to check before ordering lingerie online

Why lingerie should not be ordered “by eye”

Fit is especially important when choosing lingerie. An unsuitable bra may feel too tight, shift out of place or leave gaps in the cups, while incorrectly sized briefs may dig in or, conversely, feel too loose.

The Anabel Arto range includes different categories of lingerie and swimwear, so a product photo alone is not enough. Before ordering, check the product specifications and consider what clothes or situations you intend to wear it for.

Check your current measurements

The first step is to take your measurements again, especially if you have not done so for some time. Your usual size may change, so it is more reliable to work from your current measurements.

In the Anabel Arto size chart, bra size is determined using bust and underbust measurements. For briefs, thongs, shorts and suspender belts, the chart includes waist and hip measurements.

This means that choosing lingerie before purchase is based not only on the size label you usually wear, but also on your actual measurements.

Compare your measurements with the size chart

Once you have measured yourself, compare the results with the brand’s size chart. Take particular care with bras, where both band size and cup size matter.

The Anabel Arto website also includes an international size conversion chart. This can be useful if you have previously bought lingerie using a different sizing system.

It is also important to consider the garment construction. For example, the range includes soft-cup, push-up and other bra styles, which can feel different when worn.

Read the product page carefully

When ordering lingerie online, photographs help you assess the design, but the key characteristics should be checked on the product page.

Look at the construction, fabric composition, available sizes and any other details provided by the manufacturer. Two products that look similar can differ in cut and fit, so it is best not to assume that one style will fit like another.

Read the description particularly carefully if you are trying a certain cut for the first time or buying a bodysuit or swimsuit.

Consider the fabric and intended use

It is best not to choose a fabric simply on the basis that one material is “better” than another. What matters more is what you expect from the individual garment.

If you plan to wear the lingerie under close-fitting clothing, look at how prominent the seams, decoration and texture are. On the Anabel Arto website, seamless lingerie has its own category, including briefs, bodysuits and bras.

For other situations, more textured or decorative styles may be suitable. The fabric composition of each garment is best checked directly on its product page.

Picture the lingerie in your wardrobe

Before adding an item to your basket, ask yourself a simple question: what exactly will I wear it with?

Under a fine T-shirt, you will usually want lingerie with minimal visible texture. Under close-fitting clothing, it is worth considering the lines of the briefs and any decorative details. If you are choosing a set for a more expressive look, your priorities may be completely different.

This makes the purchase part of your wardrobe rather than simply an attractive item that you later need to find an occasion for.

Check the exchange and return conditions

It is worth reading this section before payment. Anabel Arto has different conditions for returns and exchanges.

According to the current terms of the online shop, lingerie and swimwear may be returned if the item does not match the order, is of unsatisfactory quality or arrives incomplete. The stated return period is within 14 days of receiving the order.

Separate conditions apply to exchanges: the product must not have been used, and its original appearance, consumer properties, seals and labels must be preserved. The website also states a 14-day period and explains the exchange procedure.

It is therefore best to read the full terms before ordering, especially if you are deciding between two sizes.

Check your basket before paying

The final step may seem obvious, but it is worth checking everything once more. Make sure you have selected the correct style, size, colour and quantity.

Also check the contact details and other information entered during checkout. If there is a comments field and you need to give the team an important note, add it before confirming the order.

This final check only takes a moment and can help prevent simple technical mistakes.

When to ask for advice

If you are unsure about the size or product details, it is better to clarify them before placing the order.

The Anabel Arto website lists the online shop’s telephone numbers, and one of them can also be used via Viber, WhatsApp and Telegram. A contact form is also available.

Advice can be particularly useful if you are buying the brand for the first time or choosing a category where fit requires extra attention.
