Maybe? I saw this on Good Morning America earlier. They used it to fit a mother, father, and daughter; all of whom were wowed at how well the first recommendation on their results fit them. Supposedly the scanners are being installed in Macy's and a few other retailers nationwide, but I have not seen one yet. Has anyone seen one in the USA or in the UK? Apparently, Bodymetrics will use the calculations to custom-make clothing for you. If you want to buy it from a store, then the machine will give you results for the best fit jeans which that store carries.

This would be fabulous, I know Levi's used to make jeans for people too (not w/ scanners but good old fashioned measuring :lol: )but they stopped :(


This would be perfect for me b/c I have an unusual inseam, big thighs and a smaller waist so my jeans usually end up being to big to accomodate my thighs and the wrong length.


And that collapsable stiletto could be a winner too!

AAAAHHHHHH the good old days. I wish Levis would go back to that method:cry: . Those were the best pair of jeans I ever had!!!

The Levis on Broadway and Spring are using the scanner now. I'm going to go check them out since I'm only a couple of blocks away.

I thought of this years ago...I said I wanted to create a store where you could get a person's perfect dimensions AND let them design their perfect pair of jeans. Guess someone beat me to it!!!

Hello there,

This all sounds interesting. Especially since finding proper jeans has been somewhat hard for me :) and finding clothes that actually fit would even be better!

Which Macy's shops have this type of scanner and could this be used to create a type of sloper?

TIA :D:D
