Visualize Any Material

How would my midi dresses look in another fabric?

Ask the studio to show your midi dress in cotton, silk, denim, leather, velvet or linen, as images, before you order samples.

On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.

Fabric Simulation for a midi dress

Fabric simulation shows the same midi dress in different cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and weight can be compared before swatches are ordered.

Compare a midi dress in two cloths of similar weight first; the difference in drape is easier to judge.

Silk charmeuse drapes the most and midweight linen the least: the two ends of the comparison.

What you get

The same midi dress rendered in two or more cloths side by side, so drape, sheen and texture can be compared.

Step by step

  1. Start from one settled image of the midi dress.
  2. Pick cloths of similar weight first, then one contrast.
  3. Compare the drape at the hem and the sheen on the folds.
  4. Order swatches of the two finalists before deciding.

A common mistake

Choosing a cloth from a render alone: it shows the character of a cloth, not how heavy it feels in the hand.
