Fabric

From uploading fabric images to expressing material properties (drape)

1. Fabric Upload Guide

1-1. Use fabric photos that show texture

• Texture, drape, and even light response are expressed naturally

• E-commerce It is recommended to crop only the fabric portion from product images and use that

1-2. When photographing swatches, adjust saturation

• When shooting with a phone, colors often become distorted into gray/yellow tones

• Because AI reflects these colors as they are, the results may differ

• 👉 Before uploading, a simple brightness/saturation correction is recommended

2. Fabric Property Prompt Guide (Texture & Drape)

With just one fabric image, it is difficult to fully express texture and drape (the garment silhouette). To obtain realistic design results, the fabric photo and a prompt describing it must be combined.

2-1. Describe the fabric's drape characteristics in the prompt

Drape forms the overall silhouette of a garment, such as the sleeves, hem, volume, fit, and movement. Since flat swatch images cannot capture this three-dimensional information, you must define the fabric's physical properties through the prompt.

Key elements to include in the prompt:

• Thickness: Lightweight / Medium / Heavy

• Transparency: Sheer / Semi-sheer / Opaque

• Elasticity: No stretch / Slight stretch

• Seasonality: Summer / Winter

• Drape characteristics: Flowy / Structured / Stiff / Airy

2-2. Fabric property prompt writing examples

The realism of the garments generated by AI varies greatly depending on whether a prompt is included.

Fabric Image	Without prompt	With prompt
lightweight linen-blend woven with added stretch, smooth matte texture, soft flexible hand, fluid semi-drapey folds
lightweight stretch-woven linen blend, smooth matte surface, semi-sheer with soft fluid folds

💡 Example 1: Linen-blend

• Prompt: Lightweight linen-blend fabric with added stretch, smooth matte texture, soft and flexible hand, fluid and gently draping folds (English: lightweight linen-blend woven with added stretch, smooth matte texture, soft flexible hand, fluid semi-drapey folds)

💡 Example 2: Lightweight Stretch Linen

• Prompt: Lightweight stretch linen blend, smooth matte surface, semi-sheer material with soft, fluid folds (English: lightweight stretch-woven linen blend, smooth matte surface, semi-sheer with soft fluid folds)

3. Pattern Scale Adjustment Guide

AI interprets the pattern size in the uploaded image as is.

Therefore, if the image is distorted:

• Enlarged flower pattern → generated as an excessively large pattern

• Small repeating pattern → expressed too densely

3.1 Adjust pattern scale with the prompt

Even if the image is not suitable, You can adjust the scale with the prompt.

Because the swatch is zoomed in, adjust the stripe pattern to a realistic garment scale: thin teal and white vertical stripes (approx. 5 mm each), narrow spacing, and multiple stripe repetitions across the entire garment. Maintain clean, continuous alignment.

3.2 Shoot from the distance at which it would appear on clothing

To keep the pattern scale accurate, image selection and shooting method are important.

When there is only a swatch

• Too close-up shot ❌

• Shot from the same distance as it would appear on real clothing ⭕

👉 Key point: Make it look like the “actual wearing size”
