Review the photos in this order.
Match color, size and garment type
Confirm that the photographed piece matches the ordered color and option. Similar listing images may cover several variants, weights or cuts.
Keep the exact option text in your notes.Request useful measurements
Letter sizes vary between sellers. Chest width, body length, shoulder width, sleeve length, waist or inseam are more useful when fit matters.
Compare like-for-like measurements with a garment you own.Read the full silhouette
Check body width, length, shoulder drop, sleeves, cuffs and hems. Hanging and flat-lay photos can make the same garment look different.
Use more than one full-item angle.Inspect seams and construction
Look for open seams, skipped stitching, twisted panels, uneven hems and visible damage around pockets, zips and stress points.
A loose thread is different from a failed seam.Check graphics and placement
Compare print scale, centering and distance from seams using the whole garment. Close-ups alone can hide crooked or oversized placement.
Record what is visible rather than assigning a vague score.Look for stains, holes and color shifts
Review light and dark areas across multiple photos. Warehouse lighting can shift color, so request a neutral or closer image when the difference affects your decision.
Color uncertainty should stay marked as uncertainty.
