There is a new direct-to-consumer bra company called Harper Wilde that is going to change the way you bra shop. You choose any three bras to try on in the comfort of your home for free and you send back the bras you don't like. Harper Wilde just raised $2 million led by CRV with plans to expand the number of sizes and colors offered.

An Israeli startup called Like A Glove is going to help you find the perfect pair of jeans. Like A Glove created a pair of smart shorts that use sensors to take exact measurements of your waist and hips.
