Wishlists

How to keep a clothing wishlist with useful size notes

Save the size and colour beside the product link. When you return to a clothing wishlist later, you should be able to tell which version you liked and what you still need to check.

Record the size and colour you selected

A link may reopen the default version of an item instead of the one you chose. Add the size and colour to your note even if they appear in the saved image.

Use the shop’s own size label. “Size 10” can mean different things in different sizing systems; “UK 10, dark blue” leaves less room for confusion.

Keep relevant measurements close by

Check the size chart for that product. If you are comparing it with something you own, note which measurements you used and whether the chart describes the garment or the body.

You might write “Compare sleeve length with my grey jacket” until you have time to measure. Do not turn an uncertain fit into a definite size choice just to complete the entry.

Note how you would use it

A short note can help distinguish similar options. “For wet walks to work” says more about what you need from a coat than “Nice coat”.

If several items serve the same purpose, keep them in one list and compare the details before adding more. You can delete an option when it no longer interests you.

Review the details before saving

In Fancies, paste the product link into Add item and check the name, image and price it finds. Correct anything that belongs to a different size or colour.

Fetching does not always return every detail. You can enter the title, price or note yourself and save without an image.

Check the shop again before ordering

Sizes can sell out, prices can change and return conditions can differ between items. Reopen the saved link to check the details before buying.

If you share the list, remember that its full notes are visible to anyone with the link. Keep personal measurements in a private list if you do not want to share them.
