Various approaches discussed herein enable providing a virtual reality experience of trying on clothes by augmenting an image of an article of clothing so that it appears to be worn by a particular person who is represented in a separate image. The image of the person wearing a special article of clothing containing a number of gridlines is analyzed along with an image of the special article of clothing as it appears unworn. The analysis includes calculating differences in the images to determine a change in the position of the gridlines between the images, then used to generate body shape data. The body shape data is used to augment an image of a prospective article of clothing, which modified image is then combined with the image of the person wearing a special article of clothing and displayed.
