The Chart
| Input | What it tells the model | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Height | Overall frame / length | High |
| Weight | Body volume | High |
| Body shape | Where measurements concentrate | Medium |
| Usual size + brand | Calibration anchor | High |
| Fit preference | Tight / regular / relaxed target | Medium |
Notes
Step 1 — It builds a body estimate. From height, weight, and body shape, the model estimates the shopper's key measurements (chest, waist, hip). If the shopper gives a "usual size in brand X," the model uses that as a calibration anchor to correct its estimate.
Step 2 — It reads the garment. Each product has its own measurements and tolerances. The recommender knows that a size M tee from one product runs slimmer than a size M from another, because it stores per- product measurement data — not a single brand-wide chart.
Step 3 — It matches body to garment. The model compares the estimated body to each available size's measurements plus the desired ease (fit preference), then picks the size with the best overlap. That's the recommendation the shopper sees.
Step 4 — It learns from feedback. When stores collect post-purchase fit feedback ("ran small / true to size / ran large"), the model adjusts future recommendations for that product. Over time, accuracy improves.
The real secret: data quality. No algorithm overcomes bad inputs. The single biggest driver of accuracy is accurate, per-product garment measurements — which is why the best recommenders make measurement entry easy and reuse it across the catalog.
FAQs
How does an AI size recommender know my size?
It estimates your key body measurements from inputs like height, weight, and body shape, optionally calibrated by your usual size in a known brand, then matches that estimate to each garment's measurements and your fit preference to pick the best size.
Is an AI recommender accurate?
Accuracy depends mostly on data quality — accurate per-product garment measurements and post-purchase fit feedback. With good data, AI recommenders are noticeably more accurate than asking shoppers to read a chart.
Does the recommender improve over time?
Yes, when the store collects fit feedback. 'Ran small / true to size / ran large' signals let the model adjust recommendations for that product, raising accuracy as more orders come in.
What data does an AI size recommender need?
Two things: a few shopper inputs (height, weight, fit preference) and accurate garment measurements for each product. The garment data matters most — it's what the body estimate is matched against.
