Rupert Morrish asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Is this what you envisioned Miles' human tailor competing against? http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/i-let-a-company-scan-my-naked-body-to-get-the-perfect-suit/

Lois McMaster Bujold Yep, more or less. I think mine used lasers, but the same idea.

Mine went one further in that after the scan, one could try virtual replicas of the proposed clothing on one's virtual image, and see how they looked without all that wriggling in and out of piles of cloth and what-not.

Ta, L.
