PHASE 1: VISUAL DECONSTRUCTION - **Fabric Physics:** The source garment appears to be a lightweight Cotton or Rayon blend with a matte finish. It exhibits a "soft structural" drape—meaning the bodice holds its shape while the gathered peplum waist flows freely. The gold block prints should have a subtle sheen but not high specularity. The black fabric absorbs light and should not appear glossy or plastic-like. - **Key Features:** - **Empire/Natural Waistline:** The gathered seam separating the bodice from the flared lower section is the structural anchor. - **Puff Sleeves:** The volume at the shoulders and the elasticated ruffle cuff just above the elbow must be volumetrically preserved. - **Mandarin/Split V-Neck:** The specific neckline geometry must replace the user's current collared shirt. - **Pattern Continuity:** The radial geometry of the gold block prints must not warp excessively across the chest or pleats. PHASE 2: FIT & DRAPE SIMULATION - **Body Mapping:** - **Torso:** The bodice should fit closer to the chest and release at the ribcage. The flared lower section (peplum/skirt) must hang loosely over the hips, obscuring the waistband of the user's current black pants. - **Sleeves:** The target user currently has long sleeves; the source is elbow-length. The simulation must generate/inpaint realistic skin texture for the user's forearms from the new sleeve cuff down to the wrist. - **Hemline Interaction:** Since the user's hands are near her pockets/hips, the tunic's hemline should naturally drape *behind* the wrists or bunch slightly if it contacts the forearm, maintaining the user's hand position. - **Occlusion Handling:** - **Hair:** The user has long dark hair draping over both shoulders and down the chest. This is a high-priority occlusion layer; the hair must be segmented and composited *over* the new black garment. - **Accessories:** The bracelets on the left and right wrists must remain visible. The necklace may be obscured by the higher neckline of the new kurta, or must be layered inside the V-split if visible. PHASE 3: ENVIRONMENT & LIGHTING - **Light Match:** The User Image features flat, cool-toned indoor artificial lighting (likely overhead LED). The Source Image uses bright, directional outdoor sunlight. - **Action:** Desaturate the "warmth" from the source garment's gold print. Remove the harsh cast shadows from the source folds. Apply soft ambient occlusion in the gathered waist pleats consistent with top-down indoor lighting. - **Color Calibration:** The "Black" of the garment must be lifted slightly to match the dynamic range of the user's room (avoiding crushed blacks). It should match the black point of the user's existing pants but distinguish itself via texture. PHASE 4: IDENTITY PROTECTION - **Facial Lock:** Absolute pixel preservation of the user's face, neck, and the specific flow/texture of the hair strands. - **Body Integrity:** NO body warping or slimming. The garment must expand to fit the user's shoulder width and bust dimensions. The user's stance (slouch/relaxed) must dictate the drape, not the source model's upright pose. Do not alter the width of the user's hips where the pants are visible.
