Abstract
A system, article of manufacture, and method is disclosed to enable people to determine how clothing, such as a shirt, will look on a person without the person having to try the shirt on. The buyer takes a photograph of the buyer's best fitting shirt, which may be from front, back and both sides. When the buyer shops for a shirt there is no need to try the shirt on. Instead a photograph of a selected new shirt will be compared with the photograph the shopper has taken of the best fitting shirt. Alternatively, people can fill in the style, brand and size of the shirt on a user interface and the shirt will be compared with the photograph the shopper has previously taken of the best fitting shirt. This can be extended to pants, jeans, skirts and all other articles of men's, women's and children's outfits.
