Online Shopping is Increasingly Personal
Personal or Customized is the new trend in more and more offers every day. We hear about personalized diets, personalized this and that, almost everyone knows you can "build your dream car online" when you're looking for a new vehicle and the list goes on and on.
All of a sudden marketers online and off realized that everyone's uniqueness represents a new, very profitable niche which is not only one of those short-lived fashion statements but a new way of thinking and a new quality of living, desired by many.
Anyway, here's an article (part of it - for the whole text from the source click on the heading) about the latest Internet offers for everyone who don't care to touch their apparel as much as they do about the perfect fit, color, decor and more:
Sure, you can hire your own dressmaker, tailor and shoemaker — if you've got the bucks and the time. The rest of us turn to the Internet, where online customization and personalization of apparel and accessories is growing. Sport-shoe retailers such as Nike and Converse have offered customized shoes for years, but now you can design your own high-fashion high heels at SteveMadden.com and build your own handbag at FreddyandMa.com. Zafu.com will take your measurements and steer you to retailers selling jeans that will fit you. Last month, Zafu added bras to its menu; coming soon are casual and dress pants.
"It's a growing niche in the market (because) it's an incredible new asset for shoppers," says Eva Yusa, the Shopping Diva blogger on ShopLocal.com, the comparison-shopping site.
Product: Shirts, sweatshirts, caps, bags, sneakers, underwear, baby clothes customized with site designs or own designs using "plot printing" process that produces long-lasting results and better quality than an iron-on.
How it works: Pick among 70 products, select a design or text from samples or upload your own. Also, register your designs on the site and sell to others.
Cost: $10-$50 depending on shirt, designs and text. Example: women's T-shirt decorated with arabesque design, $31.30, plus $4.99 shipping.
Boast: From CEO Jana Eggers: "I had on a Spreadshirt T-shirt that said, 'Fear less, hope more,' which is part of Swedish proverb. A guy approached me and said my shirt made him realize it was OK to think about changing jobs. That made me feel great. I don't get that kind of response when I'm wearing an Ann Taylor blouse."
Product: Customized jeans, chinos, blouses, swimsuits for women, shirts and pants for men. Also, Virtual Model for non-customized apparel.
How it works: For example, to customize chinos for women, pick among such details as low or high waist, flat or pleated front, belt loops and pockets or not, tapered or straight legs, plus your measurements and a detailed body description including everything from shoe size to bra size to overall body shape.
Cost: For women's chinos, $70-$80, plus $12.95 shipping, compared with $39.50 for non-customized women's chinos.
Boast: From spokeswoman Amanda Broderick: "Custom clothing has traditionally been exclusively aimed at the highest end of the market, but Lands' End offers old-world tailoring with new-world technology 24 hours a day for made-to-order shirts, chinos and jeans."
Product: Factory-made leather-and-fabric handbags.
How it works: Click on "Design Your Handbag," pick among seven shapes (clutch, tote, hobo, bowler), then pick among hundreds of fabric patterns, then select color of leather trim and color of hardware.
Cost: $85-$350, plus $12 shipping, comparable to similar mid-priced handbags in department stores.
Boast: From co-founder Amy Pigliacampo : "Luxury is becoming increasingly accessible, but it's not as unique anymore, so we thought it would be really cool to offer a one-off handmade product that isn't cheap but isn't nearly as expensive as (high-end bags), where customization is available only at an expensive price point."
How it works: Click on "Design Your Own," pick among a half-dozen styles (ballet flats, pumps, sandals), then select the heel height (kitten, high, wedges), then pick among two dozen leather colors for the shoe and for decorative details.
Cost: $89.95-$149.95, plus $8.95 shipping, about 25%-30% more than for similar, non-customized shoes on site.
Boast: From company president Jeff Silverman: "First and only fashion shoe website to offer it. More sizes available, 4-12, plus half-sizes. "It comes down to individualization -- when our customers look at fashion magazines, they want to be in fashion, but they don't want to look like everyone else."
Product: Apparel assembled based on body shape.
How it works: Click on "Your Personal Shop," answer questions about your shape, style and fit preferences and measurements, then pick among seven body shapes and shop according to your shape.
Cost: $40-$320, depending on item; free shipping for members.
Boast: From CEO/founder Louise Wannier: "You can't go by size because size is all over the board, which makes Internet shopping really difficult. Shape is important in how clothes fit you because you can have the same weight and it will be distributed in different ways for different shapes. We style outfits, put together separates and show you how they work for your shape. We have patents on our shape-match technology. This is the future -- Web 3.0 will be all about how to make the (Internet) easier to use."
Mission: Guided navigation to jeans, bras on Internet that fit your measurements.
How it works: Enter your measurements. Zafu selects online retailers that sell items that will fit you. You order from the retailer.
Cost: Free
Boast: From CEO Rob Holloway: "A woman goes online to a search engine and types 'jeans' and she gets 7,000 to 15,000 results. The Internet is great for getting you anything but it's awful for getting what you need. If you spend three minutes answering a few questions, we'll steer you to the perfect product."
Product: Flattering dresses for boomer women.
How it works: Pick among five styles (A-line, two-piece, sleeveless, etc.), pick the neckline, sleeves and length, pick a fabric (or send your own fabric) among 12 categories (summer, cocktails, wedding), then pick a standard size or enter your own measurements.
Cost: $189, plus $9.95 shipping, comparable to similar dresses in department stores.
Boast: From vice president Kathleen Vacanti, co-founder of the small family business based in Buffalo: "Many women, especially middle-aged or older, already know the classic dress style that flatters them, but they can't easily find it. Or they find a dress with some components they like, but maybe they'd like a different sleeve length. We offer that flexibility. We appeal to women who already know the styles that work best for their figure types and are confident making their own design choices."

By Maria Puente, USA TODAY
Anyone who shops knows crushing disappointment: You love those shoes — if only the heels were a little lower. Or, you want that handbag — but in a different color. These jeans are so cool — if only they fit your zaftig behind.
Sure, you can hire your own dressmaker, tailor and shoemaker — if you've got the bucks and the time. The rest of us turn to the Internet, where online customization and personalization of apparel and accessories is growing. Sport-shoe retailers such as Nike and Converse have offered customized shoes for years, but now you can design your own high-fashion high heels at SteveMadden.com and build your own handbag at FreddyandMa.com. Zafu.com will take your measurements and steer you to retailers selling jeans that will fit you. Last month, Zafu added bras to its menu; coming soon are casual and dress pants.

Why Shopping Online?
I know about people who do not feel comfortable to shop online and that they have lots of reasons for their beliefs how unsafe that might be. On the other hand, there's a growing number of others, who prefer online shopping to shopping in brick-and-mortar (offline) stores and love the convenience of having anything purchased delivered right to their doors.
Here are some other reasons why purchasing things online might be worth a try - besides that it's convenient:

Here are some other reasons why purchasing things online might be worth a try - besides that it's convenient:
- many companies offer unique items for sale online only
- when free shipping is offered for otherwise normal-priced or even discounted items - that's a great bonus!
- often you'll be able to buy things without tax - if you live in an area with a high tax, that might mean a significant savings
