Why can't AI virtual try-ons show exact clothing fit and fabric stretch?
Generated images cannot determine how a specific size will actually fit, how much a fabric stretches, or whether shoulders will feel tight in real life. This leaves shoppers unable to test real product photos while keeping a person's face, pose, and proportions unchanged.
