Looking at the dresses (girl here), it's kind of awkward to see the compressed width on the next image to come up. If you can adjust the transform to make it look more natural then it would be more fun to use. Happy to look at never-ending pictures of dresses for quite a while otherwise.

Agree with this-- I tend to naturally look at the next picture while it's coming in, but the way it transforms hurts my eyes. Just sliding it in would be much more comfortable, although look less pretty. Also: the man/woman pictures on your main page repeat in Chrome for windows that do not have a specific shape.

I realize that I'm "me tooing", but it is well worth mentioning again. It felt so slick, but after just a few minutes of looking at the images I had to get off the site because of the eye strain.

This feels really good, and is probably worth improving that aspect. I could definitely see myself shopping on a site like that.

I like the concept. Perhaps you could have multiple "selection rows" under eachother -- e.g. on top scroll hats, middle you scroll shirts, below that pants, below that shoes. You can switch between the rows to choose which one you want to be scrolling, but the rest of the outfit stays visible.

Clever idea....I hate browsing when shopping online for stuff. Looks like you're on to an interface that might actually make that enjoyable. I'd say some of the feedback from the other comments could improve it a bit, but I really like it. If you open up an online retail shop with this interface, I'd definitely buy something from it.
