What is it?
iCloset is an app allowing you to take your closet on the go, making it available for you to look and share no matter where you are or what you're doing. It is a fun and easy way to always know what you have and what you want or need to add to your wardrobe. You can not only keep track of everything you own but also construct possible outfits as well as share these outfits with friends and family. Sometimes you just don't have time to try on the outfit you picked out for your grandparents 50th anniversary party so you construct it on iCloset and send the picture to your mom for approval. Also, you and your friends can look through each others iCloset's to either help make outfits for one another or even to see if one of your friends has something you may want to borrow or even purchase. iCloset allows you to upload a picture of yourself and will put your face on any outfit you decide to make.

How Do You Use It?
Once downloaded, you can begin to transfer your real closet onto iCloset by either scanning the tags of the clothes or if you're one of those people who rips the tags off of the clothes the minute you leave a store, you can easily type in the brand, style and color of the garment and iCloset will search the web for the piece of clothing you are referring to. Using iCloset you can sort your clothing however you would like; by color, style, season, occasion, however you want. You are able to organize your closet multiple ways and save each way so that they can be drawn upon whenever you want. For example if you are going to a black-tie event, you may want to click on the option to sort your iCloset by occasion but if you are just simply looking for a pair of jeans, you would want to sort it by type of clothing.



Other Capabilities...
The same way iCloset will store the clothes you already own, it will also store the clothes you wish to own in the future. If you're walking through the mall and come across a pair of jeans that are just a little out of your price range right now, you can simply scan the tag to iCloset and store it in a "wants" folder. iCloset will then notify you if and when this particular item goes on sale and where you can then go and purchase it. Similarly, if you are browsing through your best friend's iCloset and see a dress you think would be perfect on you, iCloset will try to find the exact dress or something extremely similar online for you to purchase.

  1. Great use of graphics in your blog. It really enhances the reading experience. I can see people of similar fashion interests of collaborating to make outfits and it is interesting that you are even bringing in the parental aspect to it for family events. Sounds like it was spawned from real experience.

  2. This app seems very easy to use and extremely useful for college students, like myself who are always having difficulty picking out outfits!! This concept is something i think girls would really enjoy because everyone is always looking for new and easy ways to determine when they need clothes and to see exactly what clothes they have, especially if they are in a messy closet like mine!

  3. Having three sisters, I could see them all using this app a lot. They are always in a rush to put together outfits and can never get places on time because of it. This app would give girls more time throughout the day because as people know, girls tend to take a long time on their outfits. The concept is great and seems very easy to use which is exactly what you want in an app.

  4. I am so completely in love with this idea. It’s easy to use, makes picking clothes less time consuming, and it definitely makes a girl’s life easier. I hate having to get dressed before an event because I end up tearing my closet apart trying on ten different outfits to decide what I am going to wear. It’s terrible…especially having to come back afterwards and hang up the piles of clothes that I had tried on in a hurry before. A cool add on would be if the program could maybe give suggestions of outfits that you could possibly combine or maybe show you how other people are combining their outfits with items that both users have in common. Another possible add on, although pretty hard to create, would be maybe the ability to combine jewelry and accessories that you own as well.

  5. First of all, the design of your blog makes me really want to learn more about the product. I love the idea for this app. It is something that I struggle with every day and I think this is an amazing solution.

  6. This is a great idea! I always forget what I have in my closet so it would be great to see what I have without actually looking. It would be really nice if this app could suggest outfits for you though. I'm not very good at putting pieces together and accessorizing so if this could do it for me it would save me a lot of time and stress in the morning!

  7. Great formatting, especially the graphics! I want this app just based on the text. But the visual component made me want it even more.

    The only thing I don't like about the app is the limit of sharing with only 5 users a week. How would you share an outfit with your sorority like you mentioned? I feel as though it is unnecessary to limit the user. It should be their responsibility to make sure they are being smart about who they share with.
