UnitedStyles.com – Design Styles Online
A Shangai-based startup, United Styles lets you use a web interface to create and customize women’s apparel. This service (which is Facebook-connected) aims to let people recreate the whole design experience right on their browsers. UnitedStyles.com allows you to become your own tailor, at a time in which these no longer exist, or are available only to the people who can pay the very expensive fees they charge.
So, as a user of this site you can create your very own styles, colors and prints. You can then have them previewed on 3D, and (if you like what you see) have them ordered and delivered to your doorstep.
The site comes with lots and lots of charts to check sizing, so that you’ll be able to adapt your designs as you go along. If a friend likes anything you’ve ever designed, you’ll be able to get her a copy in minutes. It’ll just be a matter of changing that part of the original design.
For the time being, the site lets you design mostly dresses and tops, but more styles are meant to be added before too long. Right now, a top would cost you about $50, and dresses are priced between $80 – $100. UnitedStyles.com outsources all garment production to Chinese digital textile printers.
