Online retailers are battling it out in the quest for perfect fit

It also pairs the match with a rating of how well the dress is expected to fit.
Kate Spade has integrated True Fit’s algorithm into its online store since May 2015, and Mary Beech, the brand’s evp and CMO, has said that in the time since, customer return rate has dropped and e-commerce sales have increased, both in the double digits, although the company does not break out specific figures.
