How to Check Clothing QC Photos Before Buying

Compare the same measurement

Lay your garment flat without stretching it. Match the tape position and units in the warehouse photo. Check that the zero mark and both ends of the measurement are visible before reading the number.

• Tops and hoodies. Read the width from armpit to armpit. Use the same starting point for body length, such as the shoulder next to the collar. Sleeve measurements can start at the shoulder seam or the collar, so check which method the photo uses.
• Trousers. Compare the relaxed waistband width and the inseam from the crotch seam to the hem. Fasten the waistband and lay it flat for a consistent comparison.

Flat width and circumference are different. A top measuring 54 cm across the chest when laid flat is roughly 108 cm around at that point. Compare 54 cm to another flat width or 108 cm to a garment circumference.

Look for angles that answer a question

Use a straight-on front and back view to compare shape and print placement. Zoom in on cuffs, hems, seams and fastenings for stitching and finish. If a tape looks bent, the cloth is folded or the camera is angled, look for a clearer shot before judging the size.

Check the size tag or variant label where available. Colour can shift under warehouse lighting, so compare several photos of the same colour before drawing a conclusion.
