Me-Ality™ will now recommend denim styles sold at Bloomingdale's both in-store and online, including J Brand, 7 For All Mankind, True Religion, Hudson, and Citizens of Humanity among others. This will be the first partnership bringing the Me-Ality™ experience to the department store environment.     

"We are excited to extend our innovative consumer offering to Bloomingdale's discerning consumer base, looking for the best fashions and fits that match their style and body type," says Tanya Shaw, CEO of Me-Ality™. "Me-Ality™ is taking its consumer offerings to the next level by syncing our technology to recommend the expertly curated denim styles offered at Bloomingdale's."

Me-Ality™ takes the guess-work and hassle out of trying on clothes. Once scanned, customers receive a personalized shopping guide to help make more informed shopping decisions for their size and shape, as well as an online profile which acts as a virtual fit advisor, giving the consumer confidence to purchase their Best-Fit styles across the company's broad array of brands online. 

Sixty-two percent of women who shop cannot find clothes that fit.  Over $45 billion dollars of clothing is returned due to poor fit every year. Me-Ality™ is the solution to this problem, having already provided over 20 million personalized shopping recommendations to customers nationwide, each catered to best fit the customers' unique body type.

"We are excited to offer Me-Ality™ sizing stations in five of our Bloomingdale's stores," says Anne Bridges, SVP Omnichannel Technology & Customer Experience of Bloomingdale's.  "We are committed to exploring fit technology, and we view this partnership as an opportunity to enhance our customers' in store shopping experience."
