#73You need to sign up for Viglink or Skimlinks ASAP - the fact that you aren't using affiliate links is literally costing you.
Those services are a single line of javascript which automatically affiliates any outgoing link, and they are perfect for sites like this where you can't waste time trying to maintain affiliate accounts with hundreds of advertisers.
No offense to you, of course, but the fact that sites pop up on HN regularly of this type without affiliate links amazes me.

#74I made something similar to this but more DIY -- not curated outfits worn by celebs, but outfits designed and shared by you.

#76Now I just need one of these that sources from stores that actually carry my size. Pretty sure my fat butt would be turned away at the doors of Uniqlo or H&M.
Re: Show HN: Famous Outfits
#77Hmm... love the idea, and it'll probably make money, but the problem with anything like this (even magazine ads) is that cut is paramount and people come in different shapes and sizes. Clothes fitting properly matters much more than what they look like on the rack, and more often than not, cuts at discount stores are either atrocious, or they are designed for fit models (those lucky jerks). I can go to uniqlo, i can…
> at the uniqlo, i may try going to their jeans section, but nothing fits me, nothing
you don't get your pants fitted at uniqlo? it's free and only takes 30 minutes or so.

#78Well done and congrats on launching. But I hate that it's all about promoting cheap consumer goods that were made in a Chinese sweatshop and are half way to their final destination in an American landfill.
I'm not trying to sound elitist, but Old Navy? That stuff is garbage and will fall apart. And before somebody points out that not everybody is as fortunate as I must be: Clothes and other textiles once made up a much larger percentage of our incomes. Clothes are relatively cheap and if there's any issues it's because of a choice to emphasize quantity over quality.
Our consumer more-is-better culture is certainly not your fault. I just lament doing anything to fuel it.
Edit: if I had to suggest a place to buy affordable clothing, I'd say http://everlane.com

#79Very nicely done. If you did this for Indian celebrities, VCs in India would throw eight figure sums to buy you out. As an immigrant, I'd say Americans are relatively more rational ie. not so celeb-crazy as to completely remodel themselves after a celebrity, though teens, especially teen girls tend to be an the outlier in this aspect. But if you look at celeb-crazy countries like India, you have grown men & women in…

If Uniqlo fits you well, try any of the Mossimo shirts at Target, v-necks or crew necks. Cheap and good enough quality. (Gleaned that from /r/malefashionadvice.) Otherwise, for the shirts and pants that almost fit, find yourself a good tailor and have them adjusted to your body. It's not expensive at all for basic adjustments.
