Abstract

Recent advances in Virtual Try-On (VTON) and Virtual Try-Off (VTOFF) have greatly improved photo-realistic fashion synthesis and garment reconstruction. However, existing datasets remain static, lacking instruction-driven editing for controllable and interactive fashion generation. In this work, we introduce the Dress Editing Dataset (Dress-ED), the first large-scale benchmark that unifies VTON, VTOFF, and text-guided garment editing within a single framework. Each sample in Dress-ED includes an in-shop garment image, the corresponding person image wearing the garment, their edited counterparts, and a natural-language instruction of the desired modification. Built through a fully automated multimodal pipeline that integrates MLLM-based garment understanding, diffusion-based editing, and LLM-guided verification, Dress-ED comprises over 146k verified quadruplets spanning three garment categories and seven edit types, including both appearance (e.g., color, pattern, material) and structural (e.g., sleeve length, neckline) modifications. Based on this benchmark, we further propose a unified multimodal diffusion framework that jointly reasons over linguistic instructions and visual garment cues, serving as a strong baseline for instruction-driven VTON and VTOFF.

FEAT: Fashion Editing and Try-On from Any Design

Fashion design aims to express a designer's creative intent and to depict how garments interact with the human body. Recent methods condition on multimodal inputs to support garment editing and virtual try-on. However, existing methods still (i) confine design to garment-related images, excluding creative design sources such as artwork, abstract imagery, and natural photographs, and (ii) cannot support complete outfits, including accessories. We present FEAT (Fashion Editing And Try-On from Any Design), a method that enables editing and try-on across garments and accessories using diverse design sources. To achieve this, we introduce Disentangled Dual Injection (DDI). It takes both apparel and non-apparel design sources and selectively injects design cues via content and style disentanglement. Furthermore, we propose Orthogonal-Guided Noise Fusion (OGNF), a training-free mechanism that removes residual garments via orthogonal projection and applies region-specific noise strategies to enable virtual try-on for both garments and accessories. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FEAT achieves state-of-the-art performance in design flexibility, prompt consistency, and visual realism.

Beyond Global Realism: Virtual Try-On Evaluation and Optimization with Dimension-wise Garment Fidelity Assessment

Virtual try-on (VTON) requires not only realistic generation but also faithful preservation of garment characteristics. However, existing evaluation metrics such as PSNR, SSIM, KID and FID struggle to measure the consistency between the generated and reference garments, particularly in capturing the multi-dimensional characteristics of garment fidelity. To address this, we propose DAT: a Dimension-wise Assessment framework for virtual Try-on, which decomposes garment consistency into seven interpretable dimensions: silhouette, color, neckline and sleeve shape, major decoration and structure, material texture, fine-detail fidelity, and logo preservation, each formulated as a discrete attribute-level prediction task. To train this specialized assessment model, we adopt a two-stage learning paradigm comprising large-scale weak supervision on 50K samples, followed by refinement on 10K higher-quality annotations obtained via multi-model voting. Furthermore, we employ weighted cross-entropy loss to mitigate the severe label imbalance inherent across evaluation dimensions. Beyond its role as an evaluation framework, the assessment model can be integrated into reinforcement learning optimization of Qwen-Image-Edit for VTON, where dimension-wise rewards are adaptively aggregated to emphasize under-optimized aspects during training. Experimental results show that our method (8B parameters) achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of balanced accuracy, SROCC, and PLCC, outperforming strong proprietary models such as Gemini-3.1, Qwen3.7-plus, and GPT-5.5, while also serving as an effective optimization signal for reward-guided VTON generation

Oxygen-TryOn: Fashion-Native Foundation Model for Any-item Virtual Try-On

We present Oxygen-TryOn, a unified foundation model for any-item virtual try-on. Rather than repurposing a general-purpose image editor, Oxygen-TryOn is fashion-native, built for try-on through a dedicated data engine and try-on-specific training. Given one or more reference items (clean product shots or in-the-wild worn-on photos) and a single target subject image, it synthesizes a photorealistic image of the subject wearing the items across virtually any fashion category. Prior systems handle a single garment category in a studio setting, and recent multi-reference methods remain garment-centric; in contrast, Oxygen-TryOn supports diverse items and scenarios, including full- and half-body views, a variable number of references, and free multi-item composition, while faithfully preserving both subject identity and item appearance. Instead of mask-based inpainting, we reformulate try-on as a multi-reference, understanding-driven generation task. We build a data engine that collects, manufactures, annotates, and filters high-quality try-on data at scale, and design a three-stage recipe of continued pre-training (CPT), supervised fine-tuning (SFT), and reinforcement learning (RL). The RL stage uses a hybrid reward combining an in-house try-on reward model with a proprietary, rubric-guided general-purpose model, jointly supervising fine-grained consistency and instruction-level quality. It also follows general editing instructions (e.g., pose changes) in the same pass. Across public benchmarks and our in-house Oxygen-TryOn Bench, it achieves state-of-the-art consistency and realism on single-item try-on and leads on multi-item try-on, matching or surpassing both leading proprietary systems (Nano Banana Pro, GPT-Image-2, Seedream5 Lite) and open-source models (FLUX.2).
