Abstract

Recent advances in garment pattern generation have shown promising progress. However, existing feed-forward methods struggle with diverse poses and viewpoints, while optimization-based approaches are computationally expensive and difficult to scale. This paper focuses on sewing pattern generation for garment modeling and fabrication applications that demand editable, separable, and simulation-ready garments. We propose DressWild, a novel feed-forward pipeline that reconstructs physics-consistent 2D sewing patterns and the corresponding 3D garments from a single in-the-wild image. Given an input image, our method leverages vision-language models (VLMs) to normalize pose variations at the image level, then extract pose-aware, 3D-informed garment features. These features are fused through a transformer-based encoder and subsequently used to predict sewing pattern parameters, which can be directly applied to physical simulation, texture synthesis, and multi-layer virtual try-on. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach robustly recovers diverse sewing patterns and the corresponding 3D garments from in-the-wild images without requiring multi-view inputs or iterative optimization, offering an efficient and scalable solution for realistic garment simulation and animation.

NGL: Natural Garment Language for Training-Free Sewing Pattern Estimation

Estimating sewing patterns from images is a practical approach for creating high-quality 3D garments, but it remains challenging due to the scarcity of paired real-world image and sewing-pattern data. Existing methods address this limitation by training vision-language models (VLMs) to learn low-level sewing-pattern representations from synthetic garments sampled from parametric garment models. However, they often struggle to generalize to in-the-wild images, fail to capture real-world correlations between garment parts, and are restricted to single-layer outfits. In contrast, we observe that VLMs are effective at describing garments in natural language, but mapping these descriptions into valid sewing patterns remains difficult. To bridge this gap, we propose NGL (Natural Garment Language), a novel domain-specific language that represents garments in terms aligned with VLMs' natural descriptive abilities. Leveraging NGL, we introduce a fully training-free pipeline that queries large VLMs to extract structured garment specifications and deterministically converts them into valid sewing patterns. We evaluate our method on the Dress4D, CloSe and a newly collected dataset of 253 in-the-wild fashion images. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on standard geometry metrics and is preferred in both human and GPT-based perceptual evaluations compared to existing baselines. Furthermore, NGL recovers multi-layer outfits whereas competing methods focus mostly on single-layer garments, highlighting its strong generalization to real-world images even with occluded parts. These results demonstrate that an efficient garment representation is critical for sewing pattern estimation with VLMs. Our code and data will be released for research use.

PatternGSL: A Structured Specification Language for Template-Free and Simulation-Ready 3D Garments

Reconstructing realistic, physically plausible garments from a single image remains a fundamental challenge. Template-free methods capture surface geometry but lack explicit sewing structure for simulation; while programmatic systems are simulation-ready but constrained by predefined templates. This reveals a fundamental representation gap between geometric reconstruction and structured garment construction. We present PatternGSL, a structured garment representation in the form of a template-free and learnable specification language that encodes complete sewing patterns, including panel boundaries, parameterized seams, and explicit stitch topology, in a compact and standardized form. PatternGSL preserves the physical rigor of pattern-based models while removing template dependence, elevating sewing structure as a first-class target for generative modeling. We further propose a vision-language framework that predicts PatternGSL specifications directly from a single image and decodes them into garments using lightweight deterministic validity handling, without optimization-based refinement or manual cleanup. In addition, we introduce PatternGSLData, the first large-scale image-to-GSL paired dataset comprising 300K samples with complete sewing pattern annotations, enabling supervised VLM training for structured garment reconstruction. Experiments demonstrate improved pattern accuracy over prior baselines, explicit sewing-structure recovery, reliable cloth simulation, and pattern-level editing through the same deterministic decoding pipeline. Code and data-processing scripts will be released at https://lagrangeli.github.io/PatternGSL/.

GarmentWeaver: Schema-Aware Structured Synthesis for Multimodal Sewing Patterns

Multimodal Sewing pattern generation aims to infer executable sewing patterns from design cues such as sketches and textual descriptions. As an interpretable and simulation-compatible representation, sewing patterns are particularly valuable for digital garment creation. However, existing methods often model garment specifications as flat long sequences, which entangles garment structure with detailed parameters and leads to redundant components, inaccurate local details, and poor simulation compatibility. In this paper, we present GarmentWeaver, a schema-aware framework for multimodal Sewing pattern generation. GarmentWeaver constructs compact hierarchical targets by activating garment-relevant structural branches and predicts executable Sewing patterns in a structured manner. Specifically, we introduce a schema-aware target construction strategy, build the generator on top of a pretrained vision-language model for multimodal garment understanding, and impose feasibility-aware regularization to encourage structurally valid and simulation-compatible outputs. Extensive experiments show that GarmentWeaver produces more accurate and more executable sewing patterns than strong baselines, while also yielding better simulation results. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of schema-aware structured generation for reliable multimodal Sewing pattern prediction.
