INTRODUCTION
In the dynamic intersection of fashion and technology, a revolutionary solution has emerged to
tackle the longstanding challenges of personalized apparel design and custom fitting. This
innovative approach harnesses the power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to bridge the
significant gap between mass-produced clothing and bespoke tailoring, offering consumers an
unprecedented level of customization and satisfaction [1].
The fashion industry has long grappled with the dichotomy between ready-to-wear
garments and custom-tailored clothing. While off-the-rack items offer convenience and
affordability, they often fall short in providing the perfect fit for diverse body types. According
to a recent survey by the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education,
over 60% of consumers report dissatisfaction with the fit of ready-made clothing, highlighting
the pressing need for more personalized solutions [2].
On the other hand, custom tailoring, while offering better fit, comes with its own set of
limitations. These include restricted design options, high costs, and the inherent risk of
unsatisfactory results due to the difficulty in visualizing the final product before it's created.
These challenges are particularly pronounced in countries with rich textile traditions, such as
India, where custom stitching remains prevalent for certain garments like women's blouses.
The advent of generative AI technologies presents a unique opportunity to revolutionize
this landscape. By combining advanced computer vision, machine learning algorithms, and 3D
modeling techniques, it's now possible to create a seamless, user-friendly experience that allows
individuals to design, visualize, and customize their clothing in real-time.
This article introduces an innovative mobile application that leverages generative AI to offer
a fully customizable apparel design experience. The proposed solution captures the user's body

ready-made garments and custom-tailored clothing, each presenting its own set of advantages
and limitations.
Ready-made garments, which dominate the global apparel market, offer undeniable benefits
in terms of convenience and affordability. Standardizing sizes and large-scale production allow
for quick availability and competitive pricing. However, this one-size-fits-many approach often
falls short in accommodating the vast diversity of human body types. A comprehensive study
by the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education found that up to
85% of consumers experience fit issues with ready-made clothing, leading to high return rates
and customer dissatisfaction [3].
Custom tailoring presents an alternative that promises a better fit. This approach, which
involves creating garments to an individual's specific measurements, has been a traditional
solution in many cultures. In countries like India, for instance, custom stitching remains
prevalent for certain garments such as women's blouses (cholis) and men's formal wear.
However, custom tailoring comes with its own set of challenges:
1. Limited Design Options: Traditional tailors often work with a constrained repertoire of designs,
limited by their expertise and local fashion trends. This can restrict the customer's ability to
explore diverse styles or cutting-edge fashion.
2. High Costs: The labor-intensive nature of custom tailoring and the need for skilled craftspeople
often results in higher prices than ready-made alternatives. According to McKinsey &
Company's "The State of Fashion 2024" report, the fashion industry is experiencing significant
cost pressures. 55% of fashion executives expect to increase prices in 2024, which could further
widen the gap between ready-made and custom-tailored options [4].
3. Risk of Unsatisfactory Results: The final product may not always meet the customer's
expectations despite precise measurements. Factors such as fabric behavior, design
interpretation, and individual preferences can lead to disappointment.
4. Difficulty in Visualizing the Final Product: One of the most significant challenges in custom
tailoring is the customer's inability to visualize how the finished garment will look accurately.
This uncertainty can lead to hesitation in committing to a design or fabric choice.
These challenges are particularly pronounced in countries with rich textile traditions, such
as India, where custom stitching remains an integral part of the fashion landscape. The cultural
significance of certain garments, combined with the desire for perfect fit and unique designs,
creates a complex market dynamic.
The global fashion industry has attempted to address these challenges, from improved sizing
systems to made-to-measure services offered by some retail brands. However, these solutions
often fall short of fully resolving the fit-style-accessibility trilemma. The McKinsey report
highlights that while there's a growing focus on personalization and customer-centricity, with
76% of fashion executives planning to increase their investments in personalization, the
industry still struggles to deliver these at scale [4].

Designing and simulating realistic clothing is challenging. Previous methods addressing the capture of clothing from 3D scans have been limited to single garments and simple motions, lack detail, or require specialized texture patterns. Here we address the problem of capturing regular clothing on fully dressed people in motion. People typically wear multiple pieces of clothing at a time. To estimate the shape of such clothing, track it over time, and render it believably, each garment must be segmented from the others and the body. Our ClothCap approach uses a new multi-part 3D model of clothed bodies, automatically segments each piece of clothing, estimates the minimally clothed body shape and pose under the clothing, and tracks the 3D deformations of the clothing over time. We estimate the garments and their motion from 4D scans; that is, high-resolution 3D scans of the subject in motion at 60 fps. ClothCap is able to capture a clothed person in motion, extract their clothing, and retarget the clothing to new body shapes; this provides a step towards virtual try-on.

Recent technological developments place a growing demand on product development teams to reconsider their approach to prototyping, sizing and fitting. Significant, related changes are also being made in the fashion retail environment, including innovations in virtual fit to enable consumers to engage with fit online. For best effect in the short term, such advances need to relate well to existing manufacturing practices and to the methods that have, over many years, become embedded by practitioners into the processes involved in clothing product development and those used for establishing garment fit. The high rate of technological advance, however, places an urgent need on practitioners to change; established principles of pattern theory need to be recognised explicitly and followed consistently, otherwise, new techniques for developing and assessing products will not be able to be fully exploited. Practitioners will be pressed to adopt more data-rational approaches to product development, including adopting engineering principles into the practice of clothing product development. For example, comparisons made between the traditional two-dimensional garment pattern and the three-dimensional environment accessible through 3-D body scanning technology, provide both the stimulus and the data required to support a re-examination of how the measurements required for clothing product development should be defined. This should be coupled with a more explicit recognition of ease as a factor requiring quantification within clothing engineering. New methods of categorising the body in terms of its form also allow recognition of the restrictions of proportional theories in pattern construction; they afford promising opportunities for advancing the practices of sizing and fitting in clothing product development.
