I found something that I am dying to share with everyone! A recent quest for a new cocktail dress brought me to a website called My Shape (www.myshape.com).  They said “We match your measurements to a wardrobe of possibilities”.  I was immediately intrigued.

You mean you can tell me what looks good, and I only have to order one size because you will match my measurements to the ACTUAL size of the garment… no, no, it can’t be.  Too good to be true.

But I gave it a whirl, because frankly I am sick of the shopping and returning pattern that plagues petite women.  I answered questions about personal style, fabric and fit preferences.  Then I entered my measurements.  A lot of measurements.  Now when I log in I can go to my own personal shop.  They recommend clothes, from a variety of designers, based on my preferences and that match my body type.  They even tell me what size to order!

They anxiety of needing to find something specific and that actually fits has been quelled. I am in shopping heaven.
