Yeah. Not shoes, I have to try those on and it takes ages to find a pair to fit well and comfortably. I almost never bother to try pants or shirts on, I just pick out something I like in my size and go. That would work as well on the internet. I've read that kids, in particular, are clothes shopping on the net.

I wouldn't buy clothing on the internet if I had to change on camera. I might buy at eBay. All my clothes come from thrift shops anyway.

Only for people I didn't like much. I'll explain. I have to try things on - even if I know the brand. T-shirts and such I am right between "medium" and "large". Levis I take a 34 waist - but there is as much as a full inch in size range there. So I go into the booth with six pair and pick the comfiest one. The don't make a 35 waist, and I am Just Not Ready to try a 36. Other brands the formal waist size and the actual fit are all over the map for me.

I would if I could find what I was looking for. I buy from catalogues, so what's the diff? But the catalogues on the net aren't as good, take for instance J. Jill, I buy from their catalogue. It's got maybe 100-200 items. On the net, they only have a couple dozen. No idea why. I like April Cornell, but they don't carry nearly as wide a selection on the Net as they do in their stores. I do look for clothing on the Internet, I hate to shop in stores, but so far I've never bought because I haven't seen anything I wanted.
