1️⃣ Why Visualizing Fabric Matters
Choosing the right fabric goes beyond color — it’s about drape, wash, texture, and weight. But visualizing how a fabric will look on your actual design has traditionally been a guessing game.
Designers often rely on imagination, swatch books, or time-consuming samples just to answer one question:
“Will this fabric work on this style?”
With new AI-powered tools like StyleAI, you can now stop guessing and start seeing.
2️⃣ How to Apply Fabric to Your Sketch or Product Image
With StyleAI’s Fabric Visualizer, you can:
Upload your flat sketch (line drawing) or product image
Upload a fabric swatch photo (from your supplier or online)
See your design transformed with that fabric — instantly
No Photoshop or 3D tools needed. Whether you're testing raw denim, sheer chiffon, or printed canvas, you get an instant preview in seconds.
3️⃣ Where to Get Fabric Swatches (Without Visiting the Market)
In the past, you had to visit Dongdaemun or fabric expos to touch and feel materials. Now, you can request fabric photos from:
Online platforms like SwatchOn or B2B fabric marketplaces
WhatsApp/Email photos from local suppliers
Or simply snap a fabric photo from samples you already have
Once you have a clear swatch photo, you’re ready to visualize.
4️⃣ Bonus Tip: Improve Fabric Realism with Descriptive Prompts
📌 Note: While uploading a fabric image is powerful, AI works even better when you describe the texture clearly.
Just like in the image below:
👉 Prompt: stone wash → gives a smooth, faded look
👉 Prompt: bleach-out wash → adds highlight + worn edges
When your swatch is subtle or lacks definition, add texture prompts
This helps the AI interpret how the fabric should behave on your garment — improving accuracy and realism.
