<p>I think it’s a pretty cool idea. Think of all the jobs created for the people who use the computers to create the images. I don’t see anything wrong with it.

<p>I like buying clothes that show what they look like on real people- how can you know how they will look if you have only seen them on a perfect body?</p>
<p>Have you ever seen a fashion photo shoot? Not only are the models far from real life people physically, but the clothing is tremendously adjusted to look better – sides hanging too baggy, clothespin in the back to make it look more form-fitting, fishing weights hung to make something drape better, … and then after the photos are taken they get busy with photoshop fixing the model’s appearance and the clothes. </p>
<p>If you want to see what can be done – even with video – take a look at Beyonce’s Single Ladies video – note that all the dancers, including Beyonce, have these amazing slim, long legs and trim waists. Now look at the SNL skit featuring Beyonce and Justin Timberlake doing Single Ladies. And ask yourself if that really is the same woman that was in the video. She’s still in great shape, but nothing is proportioned like it was in the video.

But I think most models have a body type far from typical and they’re purposely chosen because of that. I don’t see how using this program is any worse than using a real person.</p>
<p>What would be cooler would be to have the ability for the user of the website to select the body type they’d like to see the clothes modeled on so they can see what the clothes would look like on a body type that matched their own. Of course the sellers might not want that kind of reality to be available since they might not sell as many clothes.</p>

<p>Yes I know, I was in a few fashion shows in my teens-
what I was talking about was catalogs that emphasize real life looking models as well as sites like zappos which give you the measurements/height of the models so you can get an idea of how it would fit your own body.</p>
<p>What I’d like is to be able to take a few pictures of me, have software create a virtual representation and then try on different clothes in different styles virtually. Why bother with a model, real or virtual, when the model that counts is the person wearing the clothes?</p>

<p>They used to have that feature @ Lands End, but don’t know of any others.
Levis has a custom tailoring program however.</p>
<p>That is probably going to happen some day…</p>
<p>Edit: ok…so it is already happening. :)</p>
<p>So willl I be able to program in the 10 pounds that I swear I’m going to lose?</p>
