Shopping in private at home for bespoke clothing at prêt-à-porter prices via the Internet.

The fantastic thing is getting the body measurements via webcam: “The measurements are on average more accurate than those taken by a professional tailor.” Wow. And then uploaded, data fed to automated laser cutter via interface that collects your fabric choice and options, dress cut, sewn on the spot in a third-world factory, and shipped to you with a day or two.

That’s not quite what the article says, but it seems to me to be just around the corner.
