  A saree is six yards of fabric that looks different on every person who drapes
  it, and a lehenga is bought for one occasion that cannot go wrong. Genlook
  shows the actual piece on the shopper's own photo, right on the product page,
  so festive and wedding shopping starts from confidence instead of guesswork.

  Ethnic wear carries a combination most fashion categories never face: high tickets, hard
  deadlines, and a huge share of shoppers buying from abroad. A bride's sister in Toronto orders a
  lehenga for a wedding in Jaipur; if it disappoints, there is no second delivery window. Every
  doubt on the product page is a sale that slips past the occasion it was meant for.

  Showing the outfit on the shopper's own photo removes the biggest doubt in the category: "how
  does this actually look on me?" Try-on shows style and drape, not measurements, so your size
  chart still does the fitting. It runs on the product photos you already have, from daily-wear
  kurtas to bridal collections. The [live demo](https://demo.genlook.app) has a full Indian
  ethnic rail to try, and the [ROI calculator](/revenue-estimator) estimates the impact on your
  traffic.

<Faq label="07 · Ethnic wear, specifically" title="Asked by ethnic wear brands.">
  <FaqItem question="Does it handle saree drape?">
    Yes. The drape renders on the shopper's proportions: pallu, pleats and fall included. Each silhouette, from saree to anarkali to sharara, keeps its own shape.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="What about heavy embroidery and zari work?">
    Embroidery, sequins and brocade keep their detail in the render. The craftsmanship your photography shows is the craftsmanship the try-on shows.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Do lehenga and salwar sets render as full outfits?">
    Yes. Multi-piece sets render as the complete outfit shown in your product photo, dupatta included.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Does it work for menswear like kurtas and sherwanis?">
    Yes. Kurta-pajama sets, sherwanis and Nehru jackets all work the same way, on his photo.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="What product photos work best?">
    The ones you already have: on-model shots or clean packshots on a plain background both work.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="What does it cost?">
    The free plan includes 100 generations, enough to test your collection. Paid plans scale with monthly volume, and shoppers who only browse cost you nothing.
