ASOS is going to start showing how outfits look on different-sized models

One of the hardest parts about shopping online is that it’s hard to know if a certain article of clothing will fit—or how it will look on your body type. Since there isn’t exactly a dressing room on the internet, if you don’t have a body similar to the model wearing it in the picture, it’s pretty impossible to know how it will actually look.

Clothing retailer ASOS is reportedly looking to ease the confusion by offering multiple photos for certain clothing items—with each photo featuring a different size model. Now, instead of just seeing a dress in a size 2, for example, you can see what it will look like on someone with a more realistic body type.

For now, the additional photos appear to only be on women’s dresses, but there’s a chance we’ll be able to see this feature on a wider variety of clothing in the future. In a statement to Cosmopolitan U.K., ASOS confirmed the change, saying, “We’re always testing new technology that can make our customers’ experience even better. In this case, we’re experimenting with AR to show product on different size models, so customers can get a better sense of how something might fit their body shape.”

A search for “women’s dresses” on ASOS’ website pulls up more than 5,000 results. And while not all of those product pages feature different models, but here are some we found that do. All dresses come in sizes 0-14, though some are currently sold out.
