Rosewholesale: Beware Of Choosing Wrong Size When Shopping Clothes Online

Theo nguồn tin PayPal trên trang mạng prweb.com

RoseWholesale refines its size chart to enable overseas customers to convert Asia sizes to their domestic sizes.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2017 It’s no secret that more and more people are shopping for clothes online. In many cases, the prices are considerably lower than the prices in retail stores and the consumer enjoys the added convenience of shopping at home, at any time of day. Some of the best deals are offered by online retailers in Asia and Europe. There is one major issue, however: determining the right size. In different parts of the world, sizes can vary and ordering the wrong size clothing often negates the convenience of online shopping. In Asia, there are no standards for establishing clothing sizes, and different brands often measure sizes in different ways. Generally, Asian sizes are smaller than US or UK sizes but there are no hard and fast rules to make an accurate conversion. For example, a “large” size in Asia could be a “medium” or even a “small” in America. When the online retailer is overseas – like RoseWholesale, DressLily or Asos – finding the right size is more of a problem because of the time and expense involved with re-shipping. The solution RoseWholesale (http://www.rosewholesale.com), an online fashion retailer based in Asia, has taken several steps to ensure that customers order the right size. Recently, The company has developed and refined a size chart that enables overseas customers to convert their domestic sizes to Asian sizes. This chart reminds users to pay more attention to choosing the “right” size instead of their “usual” size. RoseWholesale also offers a user-friendly modeling stats tool that takes into account height, dress size, bust size, waist size, hair color, eye color and shoe size. DressLily and another online retailer TwinkleDeals also offer modeling stats tools. Visit https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0-lss2liHyJV1J3UVdyZ1IzdEU/view?usp=sharing for the optimization of RoseWholesale size chart. Sizing Tips Here are sizing tips for selecting the right size offered by RoseWholesale. 1. Measure carefully It’s important to carefully check shoulder width, bust and other relevant measurements for every item. Forget about the “usual” size; do the best to determine the correct size for the item being purchased. 2. Slim styles When purchasing slim style or micro-elastic fabric clothes, use the sizing chart for every item and choose a size that is 4 cm larger than the measurements. 3. Loose styles When purchasing loose-style clothing, the Rose Style section of the RoseWholesale website is a good reference. The section can be viewed at the bottom of RoseWholesale home page, every single item page with buyer show, or visit: http://www.rosewholesale.com/buyers-show/ It provides an opportunity for customers to leave reviews and upload photos of them wearing RoseWholesale clothing. This also enables shoppers to see the clothing and read comments from other customers. 4. Returning items If the return fee is inexpensive, consider buying two different sizes of the same item. Keep the one that fits and return the item that does not. RoseWholesale shoppers can return any item if they pay the shipping fee. In order to save on return shipping fees, DressLily and TwinkleDeals allow returns to US addresses but it is recommended that one should contact customer service of the online retailer for the most accurate information about returns. About RoseWholesale RoseWholesale, which is an online store based in China but 43 percent of its sales are generated by US customers, sells fashion apparel and home products at wholesale prices. For example, the company sells a plus-size top for $7 and a hot bikini or one-piece swimsuit for $9.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​March 6, 2017 Community members, local elementary and high school students, and officials from Fiesta Bowl Charities and city of Phoenix will celebrate the opening of a new “Challenge Course” at Washington Park, 2240 W. Citrus Way, on Tuesday, March 7 at 3:30 p.m. The Parkour-style course, which features a variety of obstacles like those seen in the popular American Ninja Warrior competition, was made possible through a $100,000 grant from Fiesta Bowl Charities. A ribbon cutting will be followed by a competition on the course between community leaders and students from nearby Washington High School and Maryland Elementary School. “This is an exciting addition to the park and I look forward to trying it out,” said Councilman Daniel Valenzuela, who represents District 5 in which Washington Park is located. “It provides a great option for families and residents to get outside and have fun while staying fit. Unique amenities like this one are important to our FitPHX initiative, which strives to make the Phoenix area one of the healthiest regions nationally.” The course, which is designed for adults and children age 13 and older, combines climbing, balance and strength obstacles within a safe and accessible park setting. It is the first of its kind to be installed in one of the Valley’s city parks. Course users can time their workout with a GameTime app. The new course adds to existing amenities in the 54-acre park that include a playground, pool, dog park, lighted basketball court, sand volleyball court and sports fields, and a ramada picnic area. The park also is home to the Washington Activity Center and Phoenix Tennis Center. “The addition of the Challenge Course at Washington Park provides youth and families a new and exciting way to engage in physical activity,” said Mike Nealy, Executive Director of Fiesta Bowl. “Fiesta Bowl Charities is committed to enhancing Arizona and this Challenge Course does just that while encouraging an active lifestyle.” Washington Park is located between 23rd and 21st Avenues to the west and east, and Glendale Avenue and Bethany Home Road to the north and south. Community members and media wishing to attend the opening of the “Challenge Course” are asked to park near Washington Activity Center on the south end of the park.

PHOENIX, Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ) announced the grand-prize winner of the 2017 Walk On! Kids Cooking Challenge. Katie Cafferelli, age 11, from Saint John XXIII Catholic School in Scottsdale, was selected as this year’s top winner with her recipe, Totally Ave-Some. “I love to cook and eating healthy is really important because that’s how you stay healthy when you’re older and it makes you happier,” said Katie. “One of my favorite things is avocado and the rest of the ingredients are colorful and full of antioxidants.” Katie plays tennis, volleyball and basketball. She love spaghetti squash, kale, salmon and Brussel sprouts. She also started a composting program at her school. As the winner of the 2017 contest, Katie received a new bike to help her stay active and have fun while doing it. She also has the honor of creating the most nutritious, tastiest and popular side dish recipe in the whole state of Arizona. As part of its effort to inspire kids to make healthier choices, BCBSAZ invited kids ages 9-12 across the state to submit ideas for healthy side dish recipes. Recipes had to be original, include at least one fruit or vegetable and be able to be prepared in 20 minutes or less. Recipe submissions from across the state underwent a three-part scoring process. First, a nutrition specialist reviewed all the recipe submissions and chose the top five finalists based on each recipe’s level of nutrition. Then the top five finalists participated in a public event at the Talking Stick Resort Arena prior to a Phoenix Suns home game where game attendees had a chance to taste and vote for their favorite recipe. For the third part of the scoring process, videos of contestants discussing what makes their recipe so good were posted online for a public vote. The recipe that received the most points from all three scoring categories was declared the winner. “This year’s recipe submissions were full of creative combinations of healthy ingredients,” said Myrna Collins, health promotion executive, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. “We saw a wide variety of ingredients from quinoa and black beans to sweet potatoes and parsnips. It was inspiring to see so many children in Arizona excited to make healthy foods. This is a great program and I’m happy to be part of it.” This year’s other finalists included: Kash Walter, age 12 from Wittman, Ariz., who entered his recipe for “Zucquinoa.” Kash is homeschooled. Suzette Jones, age 10 from Scottsdale, Ariz., who entered her recipe for “Tomatocado Salad.” Suzette attends North Ranch Elementary.
