MySizeID - Measure Perfect Fit

In the past year I’ve had to return at least 50% of my online clothing purchases due to the fact that I ordered the wrong size. Sizes vary widely between brands—a size large in Ralph Lauren may be more like a medium in Nike or an XL in Northface. There’s very little consistency between brands and this makes online clothes shopping a gamble...you never know if you’re getting the right size. Well, now that problem is solved! Not only does the MysizeID application easily and flawlessly take your measurements, it also compares those measurements to the different sizes as they pertain to each brand. So after entering your measurements, the app knows what size you are for each specific brand that you’re interested in shopping. It eliminates the guesswork and gambling regarding whether or not the clothes you ordered are going to fit. Its ease of use (measurements are made quickly, accurately, and easily) and vast library of clothing brands makes this app a must for anyone who buys clothes online. With MysizeID you will yourself the time, hassle and money of having to make returns for online clothing purchases. Of course, it’s all free! There are no hidden fees or transaction costs for using the app. Overall it’s a great invention and I’ll never buy clothes online again without it. Highly recommended!

It was so easy to use but I have two issues: 1. They need way more merchants and 2. Not accurate. I looked at the sizes of the brands that I do wear and it was not accurate. It said I was an xl/16 for Ann Taylor but I literally shopped there last week and I wear Large or XL depending on the fabric and I am a 12 pants there. Tshirts I wear a large and they’re loose on me. Fitted tops and tanks I wear an XL. When I checked the sizes for H&M, I am a 10 or 12 pant there and it said 16. I am a medium or large top and it said XL. But yeah since I already know my sizing for most of the merchants they listed it wasn’t helpful. I was hoping they would have stores I've wanted to try but never ordered from before.

Such potential to be useful, but so disappointing! First, it seems overly centered on using the app to find measurements. Not only is this unnecessary (tape measures have existed for ages and are widely available, and are sure to be accurate), but it’s also a deal-breaker if, like me, this app doesn't seem to work on the first few tries). Second, this app only involves a couple of measurements. If you want pants that fit, you will need not only hip measurement, but also waist, inseam, rise. Without including these measurements, the app doesn’t see to do much more for a customer than to point her in a general direction, at which point there is still the high likelihood of the pants not fitting in the flattering way. Finally—and I could not test this 100% because it could not let me input my measurements manually even though i tried a couple of times with the app’s technology—it does not seem to be the push that retailers need to fully disclose the dimensions of their clothing (e.g, inseam in most cases, rise in most cases), so that customers can truly tell in advance if these dimensions match their own. The app makers clearly are more focused on deploying a fancy measuring technology rather than improving the shopping experience for women.

I’m 6’ 2” 170 lbs. I have a flat wide chest that is hard to find correct fitting clothes. They need to be snug on the body but allow length for the shoulders. The app suggests I wear SMALL. I’ll just say, that’s inaccurate. The app should take more measurements or consider height and shoulder more? They should also support suits and show you your measurements. I can’t even see the numbers without re-measuring to see if it was accurate. Anyway, the pants suggestion was fine.

Should really ask for shoulder to shoulder measurement unless we are only wearing sleeveless clothes. This app has a lot of potential and can benefit from crowdsourcing. Eventually it should be able to recommend brands that are better for some body types over others. Will not be using this app just yet but excited to see something like it in development.
