1. A body shape indicator system for performing a series of steps so as to provide a body shape indicator of a person, the system comprising:
a first computing device comprising a camera arranged to capture at least two unique digital photographs of the person, wherein the at least two unique digital photographs include a front-view image and a side-view image of the person, wherein the first computing device is arranged to send the captured digital photographs to a server for processing;
model-generation software, located on the server, arranged to receive the at least two unique digital photographs of the person, and to create a 3D model of the person based on the captured digital photographs;
and
a body shape calculator arranged to calculate an indication of the person's body shape based on the 3D model, the indication comprising at least one linear measurement, and to provide an indication of a suitable clothing sizing fit based at least in part on the body shape indication,
and wherein the captured digital photographs are the only scan data of the person used in the generation of the 3D model of the person and the calculation of the body shape indication of the person.
