It removes the sensory pleasure of clothes shopping for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-high-tech-virtual-closet#post-1012691 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 01:19:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 1012691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with celia - nothing like putting clothing on your body. It would be useful for online shopping as long as you could still return </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-high-tech-virtual-closet#post-1012431 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 17:54:19 +0000 celia 1012431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It wouldn't work for me.As much as I sometimes don't feel like trying things on, the way they feel and drape on me is what most of the time makes me buy an item or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-high-tech-virtual-closet#post-1012396 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 17:04:05 +0000 deb 1012396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I found interesting is that B&amp;M stores will be using this in store so customers do not have to physically try on until a decision is made. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-high-tech-virtual-closet#post-1012378 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:55:23 +0000 Jjsloane 1012378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've used the Virtual Model and used to get size recommendations from myfit (I think that was it - gone now) which was helpful. I like that it could streamline ordering but would wonder if it would keep me from ordering something that I might like IRL but not on the screen.&nbsp;Boden recommends sizes if you tell them what fits you in other brands (like J Crew, Ann Taylor etc...) It takes a bit of the guess out of it, but it's always going to come down to touch and real wear in the end.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-high-tech-virtual-closet#post-1012369 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:36:29 +0000 Mo 1012369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I played with My Virtual Model when it came out what almost 10 years ago. &nbsp;I still think nothing will take the place of putting the actual clothes on your body, but it's a start. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-high-tech-virtual-closet#post-1012364 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:19:38 +0000 deb 1012364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read&nbsp;(and watched)&nbsp;this interesting article about software that allows you to try on clothes virtually instead of actually. I hate trying on clothes in a store so this is something I would use.
