Dressr
See how anything looks on you before you wear it, or buy it
A wardrobe full of clothes you never wear is money already spent and a morning already lost. Nobody should have to guess what suits them.
Where they were
The client had a clear idea and no way to prove it would feel real. A styling app only works if the person believes the reflection — if the try-on looks like a cut-out sticker, the whole thing collapses into a novelty and nobody pays for it. They needed a team who could tell them early whether the hard part was possible before the rest of the product was built around it.
What we told them
They wanted to build their own image and recognition models. We told them not to.
That is a multi-year research programme, and it would have consumed the entire budget before a single user ever tried a shirt on. We built on models that already exist and spent the money on the part nobody else could copy: the closet, the styling, and making the try-on feel like you. We were also blunt that every try-on costs real money to generate, so the free tier had to be capped from day one rather than fixed later.
What shipped
Shipped on iPhone, Android and the web. Photograph your clothes and they sort themselves into a closet you can browse anywhere. Try on what you own, what a shop is selling, or something you just saw on a rail. A daily suggestion that reads the weather and the occasion, and a packing list built for the days you're away. The client never had to hire a research team, and never had to find out after launch what their free tier was costing them.
“Sonet worked with us as a Technical Lead and delivered strong technical leadership throughout the project. He managed the developer and designer teams, designed the system architecture, and maintained clear documentation while owning complex technical decisions. Communication was excellent, and I would happily work with Sonet again in the future—highly recommended for your project if you need a reliable senior engineer or technical lead.”
