This is pretty different than what they were asking for though. I, at least, wouldn't mind finding a professional/ scanner to measure me. It would be nice, though, to have that information that multiple manufacturers work off of. That way I can just send them my WhateverCompanyName measurements to the store and they would have a size adjusting model that uses those measurements that could be worked with to create my item.

Yes! We are working hard on perfect + consistent measurements. Here is a quick overview:http://imgur.com/ndgq2Ci And this feature will be released in API really soon. Stay tuned!
