Abstract

First or second clothing information corresponding to a first or second shape is obtained, and first or second pattern information corresponding to a first or second pattern is obtained. First or second clothing data corresponding to clothes with the first or second shape associated with the first or second clothing information is combined with first or second pattern data corresponding to the first or second pattern associated with the first or second pattern information to create composite data corresponding to a composite image of clothes with the first or second pattern and the first or second shape. The composite image corresponding to the composite data is output to and displayed in a display device.
