Yes, I could have my clothing made for me...but that wouldn't make choosing a wardrobe any easier. In fact, it might be harder because I'd have too many options.
Thanks for forwarding the link to Styleshake.com. They have the right idea in offering women the ability to design their own clothing by assembling pre-selected parts and choosing their fabric. Sign-up was a snap (a step far too many sites flub). I started the process by choosing the fabric...an odd first step in my opinion. I usually think about the design of my garment first, then choose the fabric, but I went along with their approach and chose a forest green cotton. The fabric selection click took me right to the dress designing page (a nice, clean move) which offered me half a dozen different bodice designs. I selected a wide dolman and that's when the site failed.... No clue how to add a skirt to the dress or move forward in any way. Tried several other bodice styles in case that was the problem, but still no way to move forward. As I always do with a poorly functioning site, I abandoned it.
The concept of this site is brilliant and the interface design is quite good, but it simply wasn't working the day I tried it so I can't say anything other than "good idea, weak execution." I'll try back later.
