It's kind of nifty. Not sure why I have to click on the orange thing though. Not smooth in Google Chrome on Mac. Not as polished as Polyvore. Good luck.

The boxes with all the pants, shirts, etc scroll very far, but only seem to have 15 or so items. After those items, I can keep scrolling, but there are no additional items.

Safari 4 on Leopard.

Yet another clothing site where people who don't fit into model-sized garments are SOL? Yippy.

The idea is to allow any online clothing merchant to be able to host their offering on the site. Currently we're only showing a small number of garments available from Amazon.com

We do however have a few plus-size shirts and one pair of pants, just search for "plus" in either of the sections.

Yeah that's next on my list of bugs to crush. Hope to have it fixed tonight.

Thanks!

The idea behind the "orange thing" is to allow people to see some basic instructions right away. I'm currently trying to figure out how useful the instructions are.
