Clothing Ensemble GeneratorAnne Taylor

LS 560 Spring 2014

Our IdeaThe Anne Taylor website has lots of great clothing, but it can be hard to tell which clothing coordinates with other choices.

We propose to add a feature that allows a site visitor to use an outfit generator that will form a coordinated ensemble with any given shirt on the website.

The Plan Construct a demonstration prototype

Leverage site’s existing color choices

Site already assigns basic color names to all items

“Faint Maple” and “Coral Essence” both considered “Pink”

Implement for shirts only

Limit list of clothing choices

Generate clothing ensemble choices that go with the selected shirt

Create tables in Excel and import into Access

So work could be fairly divided when only one group member has Access

Tables – Clothing Color

Each color has a unique listing in the Colors table

Each color is assigned to one or more colors in the GoesWith table

Tables – Clothing Choices Each table can be queried for a simple list (e.g. all the Pink

Shirts or Black Pants)

Can also query for all outfits that go with certain shirts (e.g. All Shirts or Pink Shirts)

Relationships

Query 1a: All the pink or blue skirts

Constructing queries using SQL—making sure we understand the process

SELECT *FROM skirtsWHERE color='Pink'OR color='Blue';

Query 1b: All the pink or blue shirts under $100SELECT *FROM skirtsWHERE (color='Pink'OR color='Blue')AND price <100;

Query 2: All the outfits that go with the pink shirt

SQL and ResultsSELECT Shirts.Name, Shirts.Price, Jackets.Name, Jackets.Price, Pants.Name, Pants.Price, Skirts.Name, Skirts.Price, [Shirts].[Price]+[Jackets].[Price]+[Pants].[Price]+[Skirts].[Price] AS Total

FROM Shirts INNER JOIN (Colors INNER JOIN (((GoesWith INNER JOIN Jackets ON GoesWith.[goes with] = Jackets.Color) INNER JOIN Pants ON GoesWith.[goes with] = Pants.Color) INNER JOIN Skirts ON GoesWith.[goes with] = Skirts.Color) ON Colors.[color name] = GoesWith.[color name]) ON Shirts.Color = Colors.[color name]

WHERE (((Colors.[color name])=[Shirt color?]));

Query 3: Simple report –which goes with which
