https://www.eshakti.com/ does this for some clothes (not via Kinect, you have to enter the measurements). No personal experience, but it's nice to see folks trying it.

It's baffling to me that Amazon doesn't have something like this. Every vendor of clothing seems to upload a size chart or puts it in the text description, and you wind up with stuff like "6x plus size dress" having a waist size of 32 inches.

I think that's probably a ways off.

I don't understand why someone can't put in a few basic measurements - waist, hip, bust, inseam - and filter clothing based on those, today. It wouldn't be perfect, but it'd be a damned sight better than putting "plus size dress" and getting keyword-stuffed listings made for a size 0.
