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.

MV-Fashion: Towards Enabling Virtual Try-On and Size Estimation with Multi-View Paired Data

Existing 4D human datasets fall short for fashion-specific research, lacking either realistic garment dynamics or task-specific annotations. Synthetic datasets suffer from a realism gap, whereas real-world captures lack the detailed annotations and paired data required for virtual try-on (VTON) and size estimation tasks. To bridge this gap, we introduce MV-Fashion, a large-scale, multi-view video dataset engineered for domain-specific fashion analysis. MV-Fashion features 3,273 sequences (72.5 million frames) from 80 diverse subjects wearing 3-10 outfits each. It is designed to capture complex, real-world garment dynamics, including multiple layers and varied styling (e.g. rolled sleeves, tucked shirt). A core contribution is a rich data representation that includes pixel-level semantic annotations, ground-truth material properties like elasticity, and 3D point clouds. Crucially for VTON applications, MV-Fashion provides paired data: multi-view synchronized captures of worn garments alongside their corresponding flat, catalogue images. We leverage this dataset to establish baselines for fashion-centric tasks, including virtual try-on, clothing size estimation, and novel view synthesis.
