the end of the dressing room?

you've probably seen this all of the web, apparently US spending on clothing ($18.3b)on the web has outstripped sales of PC/hardware/software($17.3)... pretty granted, the source is slightly biased (shop.org) but still a clear signal that of the changing demos of the web. didnt see a break out for kid clothes

i've not read the full report but one interesting metric...

"Return rates for clothing bought online are about twice as high (14 percent) as other products bought on the Web, Shop.org said, giving retailers the cost of restocking and reselling merchandise"
