Seriously I'm still deciding what size shoe to buy now that I know the color. Do I order both? Do I order the size I normally order or do order a half size up? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-predictor#post-883366 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:24:05 +0000 rachylou 883366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Huh! No such luck. Tried it in Firefox and IE. But it may be disabled for security reasons.

I think it is helpful as a rough guideline only. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-predictor#post-883193 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:35:24 +0000 Diana 883193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I saw something like this on Nordie's website recently too, and Allsaints has something similar for some of their items.&nbsp; <br /><br />These things never work for me though, because my waist and hips are not where the algorithms think they are.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-predictor#post-883189 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:32:14 +0000 JuneBug 883189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Unfortunately sizes and&nbsp;shades (makeup foundation) gizmo's don't work on me, at all. I've tried one that told me I was a size 8 when I'm usually a 6 and I fit perfectly in a size 4 at that retailer. Which was shocking to me and the sales woman helping me. I just stick to good sense when shopping, online or in store!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-predictor#post-883179 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:26:05 +0000 bj1111 883179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ good to know, anna. &nbsp;i recently ordered&nbsp;an eel print leather front skirt from&nbsp;needless markup in three sizes and still got it wrong.<br /><br />i will use this to see if the fit predicted with malandrino mirrors my experience with her skirt.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-predictor#post-883173 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:22:43 +0000 annagybe 883173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So Neiman Marcus has this little gizmo that asks you your size in certain designers, then predicts what size you'll need in a item. <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Diane-von-Furstenberg-Cholula-Cap-Sleeve-Lace-Top-Andi-Laser-Cut-Leather-Shorts/prod157500044_cat37230738__/?icid=&#038;searchType=EndecaDrivenCat&#038;rte=%252Fcategory.service%253FitemId%253Dcat37230738%2526pageSize%253D30%2526No%253D30%2526refinements%253D&#038;eItemId=prod157500044&#038;cmCat=product" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/.....at=product</a> Look at the Your Best Fit button on the lace top. I don't think it works very well, I'm a medium in Vince and a large in Robert Rodriguez and it said I'd need a medium in the DVF top. I know I'm a large or 12 in DVF because she runs pretty small.
