Or a full body scanner that could provide dimensions to a 3d printer that could print a dress form. This is coming, but it's still in the early stages.

I'm interested in the custom jeans! I've finally got plans to meet up with a friend and draft our own jean patterns, but seeing how long it took to make that date, not to mention actually cutting out and sewing the final product, going commercial is super tempting...
