One of the biggest problems when you go on-line to shop for clothes is the fitting. Even when you buy a shirt in the mall, you pick what you think your size is only to realize after fitting that you are now a Large and not a medium or maybe the medium fits better than the large ( Ha! Lucky you ). A helpful tool that online shoppers can appreciate is a virtual mannequin that will adjust based on what your vital statistics.

Imagine this:  you go on-line to your favorite shop, you pick the shirt/dress that you want to buy, and then you go to a link that brings you to a mannequin page where you can enter your vital statistics. The mannequin then adjusts based on the information that you enter. Once your personal mannequin is ready, you can drag your chosen product and it'll fit it for you. You'll be able to see how the clothing will fit you based on your own measurements. It'll be easy to see if the fit will look good on you or if you need to change sizes prior to buying. 4
