Development of a Virtual Fitting and Styling Platform for E-Commerce Fashion Retailers

Customers face difficulties in accurately assessing fit, size, and overall appearance of clothing items due to absence of physical try-on options. This leads to challenges in visualizing the final look, uncertainty about compatibility with existing wardrobe, and increased product returns, negatively impacting customer satisfaction and retailer profitability.
