I did a search and found nothing remotely active like this suggestion:
I am suggesting that Anet implement a way for us to get a preview of what Armor looks like before we pay to craft it and waste gold on something we may not like.
I mean come on who buys clothes without trying them on or at least getting to look at them on a rack / hanger?
So would you like Anet to create a system for Armorers / Collecters to give us a Preview of the Armor before we pay to have it Crafted? I know I would..../signed.
Preview Armor before paying for crafting....

I've wanted to see what they look like in full, on my char, etc. Option for dye colors too would be great, so you know what the armor would look like in the colors you want.

I've always been frustrated at how the icons in the menu give you pretty much no clue what the final product will actually look like. I cannot give this a more emphatic...

It should look like when you are buying a cape!
ESPECIALLY since factions armors have many options, we need a better interface for buying and previewing armors.
The single list of items grouped via types isnt cutting it Anet
We need ability to sort the armors we are buying. It gets CONFUSING.

I think it's rather pointless, actually. While it would be very aesthetically pleasing to be able to preview the armour, it doesn't change what armour you will buy (or, at least, it shouldn't).
You should buy armour for the bonuses of each particular type and how they work with your playing style/character strategy, not how it looks. Such trivialities are why there are 15k and FOW armour sets.

I hate not being able to see what the armour looks like before you craft it cuz some armour is really ugly.

/signed, and would be nice to have a NPC like the Guild Emblemer that would allow us to apply diffrent dyes to see what it would look like before investing 50k on Black Dye.

I think a mini-window which will show your character "fitted" with that armor would go a long way.

I want to try it on and see how it looks, maybe even dyed. Imagine buying from a catalog with only icons representing the clothes you are buying.

Several sets of armors have the same stats but different looks.

Agreed it is possible. I mean the guild emblemer is very similar.

I hate having to find someone with the armor I'm considering before I buy it, makes you feel like a newb.

I do buy for the stats - but with Factions having various skins for Druid's armor depending on Canthan/Kurzick/Luxon/Ascalon. I want to see what it looks like. Now I get my stats and my favourite skin.

But more to the point, MOST casual players will probably buy according to the look, just because they honestly don't see the difference in the armors--they only see the aesthetic side. For these reasons, having a preview of your armor before you buy it would be wonderful.

thats a good idea. i dont kno how many times ive bought gay looking armor, just to salvage it and start over. especially for ppl new to the game, it will save them alot of money which can be hard to get for a noob.
