The "choose which celebrity's body type you have" is a hurdle for many of us, I'm sure. I really can't relate to any celebrity's body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-we-shopping-by-size-online-when-we-could-shop-by-body-shape#post-1664682 Sat, 21 May 2016 12:44:32 +0000 Colette 1664682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find this very interesting. I don't know any celebrities that match my body type but it would be fun to try shopping this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-we-shopping-by-size-online-when-we-could-shop-by-body-shape#post-1664681 Sat, 21 May 2016 12:36:40 +0000 Anonymous 1664681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting idea! Thanks for sharing UmmLila. I'm with Robin on this. I don't know of any slebs who have my disproportionally short legs. I haven't visited the site, but based on the article, I don't want to be locked into outfits that 'show off' any of the body parts they have chosen. I wish they'd been a little more inventive there--how about waist, collarbones, or ankles? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-we-shopping-by-size-online-when-we-could-shop-by-body-shape#post-1664584 Sat, 21 May 2016 03:17:03 +0000 Sara L. 1664584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several years ago there was a website called myshape.com that did something similar. You put in a bunch of measurements, answered some questions about your style and the site found clothes that fit you. It was really great and I loved it. To bad it went out of business. It was an eye opener for me in regards to the different sizes I wore depending on the brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-we-shopping-by-size-online-when-we-could-shop-by-body-shape#post-1664550 Sat, 21 May 2016 02:25:54 +0000 RobinF 1664550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting idea. I don't know why they have you pick a celebrity body type, kind of weird. I do like when stores have pants by type so could see something like this working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-we-shopping-by-size-online-when-we-could-shop-by-body-shape#post-1664537 Sat, 21 May 2016 01:54:12 +0000 Ledonna N. 1664537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The article is very persuasive. I could see it happening. I also agree with Wattson21 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-we-shopping-by-size-online-when-we-could-shop-by-body-shape#post-1664513 Sat, 21 May 2016 01:05:30 +0000 Watson241 1664513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to be able to do that but it must cost a lot more on the company's behalf to make it happen. Which then we would have to pay more to buy it from them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-we-shopping-by-size-online-when-we-could-shop-by-body-shape#post-1664510 Sat, 21 May 2016 00:47:29 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1664510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why are we shopping by size online when we could shop by body shape?</p> <p>&lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.racked.com/2016/5/20/11720830/fovo-shopping-shape-launches">http://www.racked.com/2016/5/2.....e-launches</a>&gt;</p> <p>Interesting idea -- what do you think? </p> <p>too bad they launched and their web site is not functioning already.&nbsp;</p> <p></p>
