I didn't know ivillage was doing so well. I go there all the time. I don't like glam's site though.

I really enjoyed your article. My company, IGIGI, www.igigi.com is in the business of providing plus-size women with contemporary collections that will fit their life style. We have had a myshape feature for a long time now. We have seven body shapes, descriptions/highlights for each and outfit recommendations that will provide the most flattering look for each body shape. It is a very popular feature among customers.

Alexa traffic charts for these sites - other than ivillage and glam - look very poor.

Ray & Dan,

The Levi's (Levi Strauss -http://www.levisstore.com/) flagship retail stores used a similar technology a few years ago (5-6 years). I was measured for jeans there, and the fit and style was flawless.

In addition, each pair of jeans features a barcode for your account (style, size, fit) emblazoned on the white cotton insert for the front pocket. I can re-order the jeans online via the barcode.

Customer service from Levi's has been excellent, especially for exchanges of a new "style" and/or re-orders of a previous fit/style.

Also, it's my understanding that glam is positioned as an ad network....

Dan,

I took a spin through zafu. For women with "hour-glass" or "full-figures" pretty bras (with support) and jeans that fit well are almost impossible to find. And I truly mean impossible.

I took 10 minutes (had to find a tape measure) to complete zafu's bra survey.

My comment is anonymous, so here are my basic physical characteristics:

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 103 lbs.
Bra size: 32 DD/E (natural breasts).

The difference between natural and cosmetically enhanced breasts is absolutely critical when searching for bras, camisoles, slips, blouses and everything else fits the upper body.

I must say I'm impressed with zafu's web site and inventory. After taking the bra survey, Zafu offered 21 bras from 10 manufacturers that met my size and fit criteria. Even more important was the match: Zafu recommended three brands (mfg.) that I regularly purchase, so I'd be interested in trying the other brand offerings.

Zafu also provided a price comparison for each bra from multiple online vendors.

I'll need to complete the survey for Jeans, and then order something -- customer service will be an extremely important factor as well.

But, based upon my preliminary exploration, Zafu is a "keeper".

iVillage is apart from the others in that it has lot of content that is relevant to women. Shopping is a more of a side gig. The shopping sites like MyShape, and Glam to some extent, are all about finding the right clothes - some with more of a social component then others.

We reviewed Glam and Myshape recently.
