Fashion websites that we LIKE, and ones that do our head in.

[BettyMoody]

I am coming around to zara one. I like its new HUGE search font and clear pictures.

Stored baskets.
Stores that tell you the length of the clothes (really useful for tops, skirts and dresses).
In the sales, I like when I am able to sort the items by % off.

I hate the ones that won't tell you the material used -(if you have to ask -it'll be bloody viscose!!!!!). Or length. It is usually a skirt or tunic on a skyscraper model. Fine but how does it fit on a 5ft XL woman?????

Oh and Forever 21 who (unless I am going blind) do not have proper size details for the plus range.

desperatehousewife sounds like you have used the Kurt Geiger website. I was irritated within seconds, last time I used it.

Another vote for the 'new' M and S site as most hated - can't think in what ways they reckoned it was an improvement on the previous one.
It takes enough work as it is to identify the few good pieces among all the dross. The site makes it harder, not easier.

And all the 'edits' etc are rubbish that gets in the way.

Oh and any site which - like M and S - doesn't give the length of pieces infuriates me. I'm tall and need to know if it's worth ordering or not.

Also, the M&S filter doesn't work properly - you search for "Autograph" shoes, for eg, and it brings up, say 30 shoes. Look at "all shoes" and 40, say, will be Autograph. . And waiting for the extra product info to appear while you keep on clicking on the link for it. Oh God, what a poor site it is to use.

OMG Another disciple of the black dying cult

its addictive non?

Desperate, that happens on the Warehouse site, it pissed me off so much i gave up. Also as i am scrolling (on ipad) it registers that i have clicked rather than just scrolled so the whole 'click back and go to the top of the list' is even more frustrating!

I really like warehouse too!

Oh yes when you're browsing the 1649735171 handbags on the Selfridges website, click on one, click back and it takes you to the top of the list! That's probably my most hated thing. Asos do this too.

Tip until they sort it out - open each link in a new tab.

Asos doesn't do that for me. Maybe it depends on browser?

Those that offer click & collect, love that.

Those that allow you to really narrow your search to things like sleeve length and neckline. From memory, both John Lewis and House of Fraser.

Hate places that don't show you the final price till the very last page so you don't know if your promo code was accepted till you've already put in your card details.

Dyeing? Tres addictive. I was ferreting around the house muttering 'there must be something else I can dye' and strangely disappointed when there wasn't.

I am also severely annoyed by being sent back to the top of a page. I usually middle click for a new or hold for open in a new tab, not being offered that makes me cross. As does sites that have the link on the text only.

I'd agree that Gap's site is generally good. Up to the point of inputting my name and address. I have an apostrophe, a house name and no street name. Gap's head explodes. They lost a sale.

I hate it when you can't filter by size on sales collections (not mentioning any names BODEN). When it's in the sale, chances are that there are few sizes left. So that's exactly when it is worth filtering by size.

The high-end sites are the best; NAP, Matches, My-Wardrobe (although Matches always says everything is true to size, which I know from ordering certain brands is not true)but I guess they invest a lot as some of their clientele spend an absolute fortune and not just at the end of the sale with a discount code, ahem.

I like any site with that publishes reviews, even if you have to read some with an open mind, and ones where you can scroll over the image and get a good close up or zoom in of the fabric. J Crew is a good example of both those.

I hate the way Baukjen displays stuff now, e.g. click tops and its a messed up mix of styles and colours, rather than one top after another. I quite like that Boden lets you choose to see all colours, or just one, for this reason.

My award for worst filter ever is Russell and Bromley. Who on earth want to filter by heel heights 0.5cm increments??? Thats the worst one, but all their search and filter options are rubbish and it doesn't remember what you do if you press back for whatever reason so you have to start again.

Agree on R and B heel height filters. All we need is flat/ medium, etc .

Also agree sites with reviews are best - so long as reviews are actually about the clothes, not the poster ( as in a current Boden one, where post is actually a not so stealthy boast about the poster's recent visit to a 5* Paris hotel!).

Lots of agreement with being sent to the top of the page! Sort it out websites!

Agree that websites with ratings/ feedback is good. I've made up my mind on so many items on this alone.

I've tried ordering clothes from the anthropologie site from an iPad, a n iMac and a desktop PC. The website does not work on any of them. It is impossible to actually order anything. I'm not sure how they make any money from it.

My bug bear is grim-faced, slouching boy-shaped models making clothes look ugly and inelegant. Whistles is worst for this, Zara comes second. So unappealing and unattractive.
