  Dresses are returned more than any other apparel category. Benchmarks put the online rate at
  [33 to 38%](https://www.photta.app/business/guides/return-rate-benchmarks-by-category), and
  [43% of shoppers](https://www.mintel.com/press-centre/size-does-matter-more-than-one-in-three-38-brits-struggle-to-find-clothes-that-fit-them-well/)
  who return clothing point to fit. Most of that isn't a sizing error: a dress is judged on
  silhouette, and a flat photo of someone else can't show silhouette on the body that matters.

  Showing the dress on the shopper's own photo answers the visual half of that doubt before
  checkout. It doesn't measure anything, so a clear size chart still does the other half. To see
  how the render holds up on real garments, the [live demo](https://demo.genlook.app) runs on a
  live catalog, and the [ROI calculator](/revenue-estimator) puts numbers on your own traffic.

<Faq label="07 · Dresses, specifically" title="Asked by dress brands.">
  <FaqItem question="Do maxi, midi and formal dresses all work?">
    Yes, every length and cut. Dresses are one of our strongest categories: the engine preserves hemline, waistline and how the fabric falls.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Does the drape look real, or painted on?">
    The garment is re-rendered on the shopper's pose. Satin flows, knits sit, structured fabrics hold their shape. Judge it yourself in the live demo.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="What product photos do I need?">
    The ones you already have, packshot or on-model. Clear images on a plain background give the best results.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Does it help with sizing?">
    Try-on shows the style, fit, and proportion of the dress on the shopper's body. It is not a measurement tool, so pair it with a clear size chart for the final size pick.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Are shoppers' photos private?">
    Yes. Photos are encrypted, never used to train models, and deleted automatically after 7 days. GDPR compliant by default.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="What does it cost?">
    The free plan includes 100 generations, enough to test it on your bestsellers. Paid plans scale with monthly volume, and shoppers who only browse cost you nothing.
