Fair Oaks Mall is debuting the first Me-Ality Size Matching Station in the Washington D.C. metro area. Me-Ality is a free service that takes less than 10 minutes (from scan to shopping guide) to help shoppers identify the fit, style, design and cut that best match their body. The Me-Ality Size Matching Station is located on the lower level of Fair Oaks Mall, off the Fountain Court, and is open during all mall hours. With no sizing standard for clothing manufacturers, Me-Ality is designed to take the guesswork out of sizing when clothes shopping. After registering some basic demographic information, customers will first step fully clothed into the Me-Ality body imaging system and in about 10 seconds, 200,000 data points will capture precise body measurements.
After being scanned, shoppers will view their shopping guide at one of the touch-screen monitors at the Size Matching Station. The Me-Ality shopping guide lists styles that best fit the shopper’s exact body shape. The customized Me-Ality shopping guide can filter the list by brand, style, price or retailer.
