Clothes Horse Wants To Solve The Biggest Problem With Online Shopping: Finding Clothes That Fit

Clothes Horse , a fashion technology company based out of New York, is publicly launching its platform today in an attempt to address one of the biggest challenges facing online shoppers: buying clothes that fit.
