ChatGPT presents: How to measure clothes before you even buy them

A new ChatGPT feature allows users to upload a personal photo and virtually try on clothes. The tool is accurate in colors and fit, but tends to "flatter" body proportions. Recommended as an aid for narrowing down options, but not as an exact promise.

ChatGPT has launched a new virtual dressing room feature, allowing users to upload a full-body photo, search for a clothing item, and click the "Try On" button. Within seconds, the AI generates a new image showing how the garment would look on them, taking into account fabric texture, lighting, and how the clothing drapes on the body. Initial tests show convincing results in color matching and overall fit reflection. However, a tendency for the AI to "flatter" reality was found: users reported that the generated images showed them with different body proportions — taller, with longer legs and a shorter torso. The article recommends using the tool to narrow down options and choose between colors, but not to treat the image as an entirely accurate prediction.
