> Do you think Outfyts will make online shopping better and simpler?

I don't know. It looks very slick. I'm just unsure whether many people actually buy outfits as a whole.

> Do you think you would use this service?

Probably not, I don't buy my outfits all in one go.

On the other hand the ability to quickly compare a variety of different combinations of things with your scrolling mechanism is a plus. I might buy a skirt because I can see it goes well with a variety of tops similar to the ones I already have. You might want the ability to stick things in the basket individually to cater for people who like to mix and match in that way.

> Imagine the one thing that you wish you could change about shopping online. Is there anyway that Outfyts can solve it?

I'm never entirely sure that something's going to fit. If I could just enter my measurements on one site and it could handle the working out for me, that would be good.

> [Polyvore] Do you like it more than Outfyts? Whats better, whats worse?

No, I don't like it more. The main thing that's worse is that it doesn't run properly in my browser (Opera). Firing up IE however....

Making me load the next page to see the next set of clothes is annoying.

Having the filters for tops and so on as tags that I have to manually take off rather than just being able to click a larger button to return to the root of the interface is non-intuitive. I may like a top and want to compare it with one of the skirts I've been looking at very quickly and then go back to the jeans I was just looking at and see them with another top. The ability to jump back and forth between different categories like that isn't really there for them.

It does let you sort by price and by colour. Which is nice.

Considering its drag and drop nature, it should let you dress up a doll - or an outline or something like that so that there's something visual to put the clothes onto. Not having the outfits all in the same scale so that you have to drag about resizing the things by hand is tiresome.
