This is such a good idea that I hope someone seriously invents this. I would 100% pay extra. And I love clothes shopping! 🛍️

This is a GENIUS idea, trying on clothes is so tedious

I’m just hopping that you actually do have those fabulous legs in the photo Kate!

Sadly I only have two legs, rather than the ubiquitous 2-3 assumed by the AI. 😉

What a brilliant and witty exploration of how AI could transform the shopping experience, Kate! The idea of a 3D avatar as a personal shopper is both innovative and amusing. Your humorous take on potential glitches adds a delightful touch, making this post a joy to read.👍

I'm lucky in the shoe department. My wife buys shoes that are consistently a half size too big for her but perfect for me, so I benefit from inherited shopping items. We're not close on jeans or tee sizes though---to give perspective, my hand-me-downs go to 13-year-old boys and a twiggy 85-year-old neighbour. I'm on my own for those items but am loyal to one jeans brand and will never wear a party dress unless it's for Halloween. I feel like I should point out that I am a woman, as this post could be wildly misinterpreted!

Is this what you’re talking about?

Not quite, I'm imagining a full-on life-sized 3D-esque Avatar!

When we're all shopping like that in 10 years time, you heard it here first. 😉 😂

Oh yes. And it must be a hologram.

Next time we meet I will be checking whether you have 2-3 legs and mis-matched shoes….it should make you easy to recognise!

I’m sure they will be widely available in ten years time! 🤞

I am the opposite with shoes, am in complete denial that my feet may now be half a size bigger than they always have been. 😮
