1. A method comprising:

  • accessing, from a database by a computer system, a three-dimensional model descriptive of a garment, the three-dimensional model having a model feature identifying a characteristic of the garment;

    accessing, by the computer system, a corresponding calibration factor for the three-dimensional model, the calibration factor indicating a size of the model feature of the garment;

    accessing, from the database by the computer system, a plurality of reference garment shapes for a plurality of reference garments of different types of garments;

    comparing, by the computer system, the three-dimensional model descriptive of the garment to the plurality of reference garment shapes for the plurality of reference garments of different types of garments;

    selecting, by the computer system, a garment shape from the plurality of reference garment shapes corresponding to the three-dimensional model descriptive of the garment based on the comparison of the three-dimensional model descriptive of the garment with the plurality of reference garment shapes, the selected garment shape having a plurality of reference features identifying characteristics of the selected garment shape;

    comparing, by the computer system, the model feature of the three-dimensional model descriptive of the garment to the plurality of reference features of the selected garment shape to determine a reference feature of the plurality of reference features of the selected garment shape that is similar to the model feature of the three-dimensional model descriptive of the garment;

    associating, by the computer system, the determined reference feature from the plurality of reference features of the selected garment shape with the model feature of the three-dimensional model descriptive of the garment;

    computing, by the computer system, a measurement of the reference feature based on the model feature using the calibration factor indicating the size of the model feature;

    storing, by the computer system, the computed measurement of the reference feature in a body profile associated with a user that comprises one or more computed measurements of reference features; and

    generating an avatar for the user based on the body profile including the computed measurement of the reference feature.
