Information regarding a person's body shape is obtained. The body shape information is analyzed to identify at least one figure characteristic of the body shape. At least one garment type is identified that compliments the identified figure characteristic. Garments within the collection that are categorized as being within the identified complimentary garment type are identified. The identified garments are recommended. An input corresponding to a desired garment selected from the recommended identified garments is received.
