I don't like AI slop either, but we're both non-natives, so we did a run of AI after initial draft for the reader's comfort. We'll try to improve on the style
Wrong. The article is our own research. Writing is claude assited, cuz we are not english natives. As for the code it's also Claude, but once again, LLMs are surprisingly bad at 3D ATM
(Cofounder here)
I talked to really big fast fashion brands on that subject.
Oftentimes they dont even have the garment cuts at hand. They sort of outsource big part of the designing process to the supplier (Bangladesh, China contractor).
Fashion Technicians are handed samples and they iterate on them, but they can't reproduce the actual fabric dimensions that easily.
The fast fashiuon brands are very hard to get them to experiment with such solutions for that matter - it would interfere with very fast and scrappy process thats in place
Hey, I'm cofounder.
Overall relevant summary, but here is extra context:
ai;dr - neither of us are english natives. We use AI, but the content and research is ours and AI could not do it well enough. It's n'th iteration. In fact, we started with photo-based approach and over time simplified it to single questionnaire which yields better results. simple != easy != obvious
why: no fancy equipment, no weird camera scanning (yielding bad results anyways). Still plenty of opportunities to make it even simpler. Ideally we'd measure full body as well or better than a tailor with a tape measure in just few minutes. Possibly without tape measure. We're still long way off both in tech and UX, but good enough for market validation
errors:
all of that is roughly within the errors that you'd get from tape measurements. If it's could enough for bespoke, it's good enough to tell you that your bicep won't feel comfortable inthe sleeve
