I wish QVC had an "outfit builder" function so you can mix/match items and see ...

I can't recall where it was online ... but several years ago there was a website that let you do that.

You selected your mannequin based on body shape, hair color, etc., and then you could "try on" clothes that they sold.

I only wear things within a particular color palette ... so no matter what I buy it always goes with other stuff in my closet. And, at this stage in my life, I know what styles I can and cannot wear.

Lands End used to do that! Not anymore though. Not sure why. You used to be able to change it to match your body type too!

I agree that would be fun.

What a great idea!

Yes!! That would be so cool. And helpful. I was watching Lori's Logo show, Jill was hosting. I don't layer up the way Lori does, I have several Logo Layer pieces and I wanted to add to my collection but I just could visualize how items would look together. So, I didn't buy anything. An "outfit builder" was just what I needed!

Fabulous idea! Sounds like lots of fun too. Although, I can just imagine the pull on their website as far as bandwidth. LOL All these women creating outfits, I envision the movie Christmas Vacation and the power meter spinning.

.... While you are making selections! Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed and it would be nice to have a sort of "paper doll" for lack of a better phrase, that you could click and add a skirt, sweater, boots, and change between the colors available to see which really click with you.

Wouldn't that be fun?

I love that idea!!!

I made an online suggestion to Talbots several years ago regarding something similar. For instance, if you click on a skirt, there would be options to the right to coordinate with the skirt. They could offer a matching jacket or a jacket in a complementary fabric. From there, they could offer a blouse or sweater, then accessories and shoes.

I also like the option of building a wardrobe in X number of pieces. Banana Republic did this a couple of years ago and it was interesting to see the outfits put together. It gave me some ideas.

I don't think the Talbots website will ever get that sophisticated, especially when I've been complaining for years that we need to see back views of the merchandise. Still no photos...

A couple of stores tried that a few years ago. I found the app difficult to use..........and when I got the virtual mannequin configured according too my measurements in all her round and substantial glory........I decided I was a lot happier just imagining how clothes would look on my body! Sometimes deluding oneself is merciful.
