As I was watching “What Not to Wear” this evening, I wondered if there was a site online that would help someone of my (ahem) stature find something that would fit correctly and flatteringly. I do not enjoy shopping. I have odd proportions (short + round), and it’s hard to find anything that fits, much less looks nice. So I was excited to find MyShape, “an online store created for you.” The idea is that you take your measurements and input the numbers, and the site gives you a selection of clothes that will best fit you.

It took the site’s fashion gnomes about 30 seconds to discover a truth that I’ve known for some time: Nothing looks right on me. Except for one outfit. A pair of jeans from Seven7 and a “floral print top” from Just Living. Oh, or any of these.

Oh well. I guess I’ll just keep on not shopping.
