Whoever invents a simple, reliable way to virtually try on clothes will become an instant billionaire and will put the final nail in retail’s coffin.

It's been tried many times, but it never really works - especially for women's clothes. No two bodies are exactly alike, and off-the-shelf items - no matter how customized through picking a set of canned options - are not going to work the same way for more than one person.

Plus, women love the "playing dress-up" aspect of shopping in a boutique store. Big stores offering bland, cheaply made, generic-looking apparel (Sears, Kohl's, Target, etc.) might be in danger from such a web site - especially if located in malls where "yoofs" like to gather. But smaller specialty stores run by actual experts and offering real customer service in fitting and fashion consulting will not be hurt.
