Fit Upload Guide: Your Sketch Needs a Model Photo

A sketch is great for showing design details, but it can’t fully express fit—like silhouette, length, volume, or how the garment sits on the body.
This is why the AI uses a model photo to understand fit more accurately.


Why the Model Photo Matters

Examples showing how different model silhouettes produce different AI fits from the same sketch, highlighting why matching silhouette and length is important.

The model image gives the AI key information your sketch can’t provide:

  • silhouette (fitted, straight, A-line, oversized)

  • garment length (mini / midi / long)

  • body proportions & posture

Think of the model photo as the fit template for your design.


How to Choose the Right Model Photo

  • Pick a model wearing a similar silhouette to your design.

  • Match the intended length (mini, midi, long).

  • Use a simple, front-facing pose.

  • Avoid styling that changes the silhouette (belts, heavy layering).


Conclusion

A sketch shows the idea.
A model photo shows the fit.
Upload both together to get accurate, natural, production-ready AI visuals.
