    • Figurous is taking the idea one step further:

      1. Buy clothes of any brand from anywhere, and put them into your virtual walk-in closet using barcode digits only. Figurous will provide the missing pieces of information, such as pictures, brand, model, size etc..

      2. Re-find, either downtown or on the Internet, the clothes that turn out to be your favourite ones.

      3. Find your new favourite clothing you didn't even know existed, but that will have your size, your colours, your style... Very much like Amazon's book recommendations.

      4. Swap, buy or sell. Find the Figurous neighbours that has your favourite clothes, and let others get the items that didn't fit you in the first place.

      5. At no cost.

      If you read the "business facts" paragraphs on http://www.figurous.com you will be pointed towards further readings on the subject.

    • There is already a company doing this- BUT BETTER!!! to many of your comment- Fit Just Right uses your OWN body measurements to tell you what is the right size to buy in EVERY garment you look at AND WHAT WILL FIT, at your favorite retailer!!! Check it out www.fitjustright.com Everyone knows no one is the same size in any store- and you can be a different size in 4 different pants. Using measurements make sense and I hear you can even RATE a garment after you bought it on how it fit and then recommend similar types!!! I CANT WAIT until this is available, especially online!! I WILL never have to return something again!!! Should be coming soon to some major retailers- has any else heard?? Do they know if this is up anywhere yet???
