Abstract

Virtual footwear try-on (VFTON), a critical yet underexplored area in virtual try-on (VTON), aims to synthesize faithful try-on results given diverse footwear and model images while maintaining 3D consistency and texture authenticity. Unlike conventional garment-focused VTON methods, VFTON presents unique challenges due to (1) Data Scarcity, which arises from the difficulty of perfectly matching product shoes with models wearing the identical ones, (2) Viewpoint Misalignment, where the target foot pose and source shoe views are always misaligned, leading to incomplete texture information and detail distortion, and (3) Background-induced Color Distortion, where complex material of footwear interacts with environmental lighting, causing unintended color contamination. To address these challenges, we introduce MVShoes, a multi-view shoe try-on dataset consisting of 7305 well-annotated image triplets, covering diverse footwear categories and challenging try-on scenarios. Furthermore, we propose a dual-stream DiT architecture, ShoeFit, designed to mitigate viewpoint misalignment through Multi-View Conditioning with 3D Rotary Position Embedding, and alleviate background-induced distortion using the LayeredRefAttention which leverages background features to modulate footwear latents. The proposed framework effectively decouples shoe appearance from environmental interferences while preserving high-quality texture detail through decoupled denoising and conditioning branches. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that our method substantially improves rendering fidelity and robustness under challenging real-world product shoes, establishing a new benchmark in high-fidelity footwear try-on synthesis.

FIT: A Large-Scale Dataset for Fit-Aware Virtual Try-On

Given a person and a garment image, virtual try-on (VTO) aims to synthesize a realistic image of the person wearing the garment, while preserving their original pose and identity. Although recent VTO methods excel at visualizing garment appearance, they largely overlook a crucial aspect of the try-on experience: the accuracy of garment fit -- for example, depicting how an extra-large shirt looks on an extra-small person. A key obstacle is the absence of datasets that provide precise garment and body size information, particularly for "ill-fit" cases, where garments are significantly too large or too small. Consequently, current VTO methods default to generating well-fitted results regardless of the garment or person size. In this paper, we take the first steps towards solving this open problem. We introduce FIT (Fit-Inclusive Try-on), a large-scale VTO dataset comprising over 1.13M try-on image triplets accompanied by precise body and garment measurements. We overcome the challenges of data collection via a scalable synthetic strategy: (1) We programmatically generate 3D garments using GarmentCode and drape them via physics simulation to capture realistic garment fit. (2) We employ a novel re-texturing framework to transform synthetic renderings into photorealistic images while strictly preserving geometry. (3) We introduce person identity preservation into our re-texturing model to generate paired person images (same person, different garments) for supervised training. Finally, we leverage our FIT dataset to train a baseline fit-aware virtual try-on model. Our data and results set the new state-of-the-art for fit-aware virtual try-on, as well as offer a robust benchmark for future research. We will make all data and code publicly available on our project page: https://johannakarras.github.io/FIT.

What Matters in Virtual Try-Off? Dual-UNet Diffusion Model For Garment Reconstruction

Virtual Try-On (VTON) has seen rapid advancements, providing a strong foundation for generative fashion tasks. However, the inverse problem, Virtual Try-Off (VTOFF)-aimed at reconstructing the canonical garment from a draped-on image-remains a less understood domain, distinct from the heavily researched field of VTON. In this work, we seek to establish a robust architectural foundation for VTOFF by studying and adapting various diffusion-based strategies from VTON and general Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs). We focus our investigation on the Dual-UNet Diffusion Model architecture and analyze three axes of design: (i) Generation Backbone: comparing Stable Diffusion variants; (ii) Conditioning: ablating different mask designs, masked/unmasked inputs for image conditioning, and the utility of high-level semantic features; and (iii) Losses and Training Strategies: evaluating the impact of the auxiliary attention-based loss, perceptual objectives and multi-stage curriculum schedules. Extensive experiments reveal trade-offs across various configuration options. Evaluated on VITON-HD and DressCode datasets, our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance with a drop of 9.5% on the primary metric DISTS and competitive performance on LPIPS, FID, KID, and SSIM, providing both stronger baselines and insights to guide future Virtual Try-Off research.

FitVTON: Fit-aware Virtual Try-On via Body-Garment Size Control

While diffusion-based virtual try-on has achieved impressive visual realism, most methods treat the task as 2D inpainting, prioritizing texture preservation over physical plausibility. Consequently, they often produce plausible-looking images that fail to reflect authentic garment fit across diverse body shapes. We present FitVTON, a Fit-aware virtual try-on model on different bodies in the wild. FitVTON encodes garment-body size through structured text prompts, and learn from simulated try-on triplets from parameterized garment model. To improve the fitting effects over garment silhouettes, we introduce two auxiliary head to predict the masks for both the garment and the exposed body. We further introduce a texture rectification stage to improve realistic appearance from simulated data. To evaluate the fitting fidelity, we curate a real-world dataset, FittingEffect3K, combining VLM-based scoring protocol. Both subjective and quantitive experiments show that FitVTON demonstrate authentic fitting fidelity, with significant sizing accuracy and shape preservation over state-of-the-art methods while maintaining competitive image quality.
