Review:
ClubCouture is one of my favourite online shopping websites. I like how all their items are very well organised and categorised. Other than just the common categorisation of Tops, Dresses, Accessories and so on, they also further categorised each section of clothing according to their style and color. This makes it very convenient for us when we are just looking for a specific type of clothing, rather than having to search through everything.
I am very impressed with their customer service too. One of the problem we face when doing online shopping is that we only realise that the apparel does not look good on us when we have received and tried it on. ClubCouture offers a fantastic no-questions-asked exchange policy as long as it is within a week of receiving the apparel and the tags are all still intact. I have exchanged one of the dress I bought from them for a jumper and though they took a slightly longer time to process the exchange request, it was indeed "no-questions-asked"!
How to incorporate website into Craft & Tech lessons:
1.) Each of the apparel comes with a short description of the material used and cleaning instructions. Teachers can show students how certain textiles look when used on "real clothing" rather than just showing them bits of pieces of fabric. If the students already have prior knowledge of textiles, they can be asked to identify the materials instead. When going through the pictures, teachers can also give some tips on how the different apparels can be wore or what type of body shapes do the apparel suits. Students at the adolescent stage are usually concerned about looking good hence this will get them engaged.
2.) The website also gives clear and specific instructions on how to clean and dry every piece of apparel for e.g. "hand wash cold, hang or line dry" . This can be incorporated into the topic of caring for apparels by pointing out to students how different materials have different washing and drying instructions.
