Abstract

Method and system for facilitating personalized garment fit evaluations over computer network, irrespective of non-uniform garment sizing options. 2D image of a selected garment offered for purchase is received. 2D image of a reference garment having preferred fit for customer and of same garment type as selected garment is received. Selected garment image and reference garment image includes a view of the selected/reference garment flattened against a surface and a measurement reference scale enabling measurement along any two image points. Selected garment and/or reference garment is transformed into a proportional image in which distances between points are presented along a common scale. Selected garment image is compared with reference garment image, and an indication of at least one fit deviation measurement of selected garment relative to reference garment is provided. A fit compatibility of selected garment may be determined and provided based on fit deviation measurement and garment fitting property.
