Top fashion commentator, Lilliana Vazquez, puts mybestfit to the test! Finding the best fitting clothing is going to be easier than ever. mybestfit is now open in King of Prussia mall and will soon be in shopping centers across the country.

Note: article originally appeared in: www.stores.org - The perfect outfit dangles temptingly on a display rack. The shopper grabs it and makes her way to the dressing room, where she discovers that her usual size … isn’t. Fitting room frustration makes many customers dread clothes shopping and does nothing to encourage sales. A new service, MyBestFit, is designed to help customers find correct sizes before entering the store, and build sales in the process. The MyBestFit kiosk debuted last month at King of Prussia Mall in Pennsylvania. Shoppers at the upscale center step into the kiosk for a free, 10-second body scan that determines the customer’s measurements. After the scan, a list of items in the shopper’s correct size available from mall merchants is printed out.
