Virtual dressing room Have you seen this?
marymary86 Intermediate GA USA Member since 7/20/08 Posts: 2200	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/11/13 8:26 PM My Style Rules You enter your height, weight, measurements and size (pick the largest if you're a different size top and bottom) and a model appears with your body type (mine was accurate). Then style recommendations are made for you with a (slightly annoying I think) narrator. I agree that most of the styles I've seen so far are flattering - well maybe not the jeans! It also tries to sell you clothes but we're safe! We'll just buy the pattern! -- Edited on 3/11/13 8:27 PM -- ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

This one showed me things not to wear and I already knew those were awful. The suggestions it offered were good ones. I thought it was helpful. I thought it was a good way to preview certain styles I was thinking about sewing. ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

Date: 3/11/13 11:32 PM I dunno -- I signed up and tried it, and the some of the stuff she said would look great looked horrible. Some of the stuff she said not to wear looked okay -- certainly not worse than her picks. Where's my burlap sack? :)

marymary86 Intermediate GA USA Member since 7/20/08 Posts: 2200	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/12/13 2:03 PM I'm a pear. The recommendations were good but I had to squint and look at lines not the actual dress. It was amusing how the "real" dresses that came up for me to buy were often not like the animated recommendations. Well drats! I had high hopes for this. ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com
