Thinking Process
PHASE 1: VISUAL DECONSTRUCTION
- **Fabric Physics:** The source garment is a printed cotton or cotton-blend Kurti. It possesses medium tensile strength with a matte finish (low specularity). Unlike the current stretchy tube top on the user, this fabric is semi-rigid; it will develop sharp, angular creases rather than soft fluid folds. It interacts with light through diffuse scattering rather than specular reflection.
- **Key Features:** The bell sleeves with gold border trim must be preserved. The central vertical placket with gold detailing and the tassels hanging from the neckline are critical anchor points. The all-over floral/leaf print pattern must maintain its scale and orientation. The garment length is below the knee (midi), which is a significant change from the target's current cropped silhouette.
PHASE 2: FIT & DRAPE SIMULATION
- **Body Mapping:**
* **Left Arm (Raised):** The sleeve on this arm must slide down towards the shoulder due to gravity, exposing the distal forearm. Fabric bunching/compression will occur at the top of the shoulder/armpit connection.
* **Right Arm (Resting):** The sleeve will hang naturally but break where the elbow bends. The wide "bell" shape of the cuff needs to flare out just above the wrist.
* **Torso & Hips:** The Kurti is a straight/loose fit. It must drape vertically from the bust, masking the waist indentation shown in the target image. It should flow over the hips, extending down the thighs.
- **Occlusion Handling:**
* **Right Hand:** The user's right hand rests on the hip/waist area. Since the Kurti is long, the fabric must generally drape *behind* the hand and wrist to maintain the pose, or the simulation must account for the hand pressing the fabric against the hip.
* **Neck:** The neckline is higher than the current tube top; the simulation must seamlessly mask the bare chest up to the clavicle region where the Kurti's mandarin collar sits.
PHASE 3: ENVIRONMENT & LIGHTING
- **Light Match:** The target environment uses soft, warm studio lighting with a primary source from the front-left, casting soft shadows to the right. The outdoor lighting of the source image must be neutralized. We must generate self-shadowing on the Kurti (e.g., under the bust, inside the sleeve openings) consistent with this studio setup.
- **Color Calibration:** The source pink is cool-toned daylight; it must be color-graded to accept the warm, beige ambient light of the target room. The contrast needs to be lowered slightly to match the soft "Monochrome Vibes" aesthetic of the target image.
PHASE 4: IDENTITY PROTECTION
- **Facial Lock:** The user's entire head, facial structure, makeup, and slicked-back hairstyle must remain pixel-perfectly frozen. The exposed skin tone on the arms and neck must not change.
- **Body Integrity:** The user's shoulder width and arm volume must be preserved. Do not slim the user's waist to fit the garment; instead, allow the garment's loose silhouette to expand outward naturally, respecting the user's actual somatic boundaries.
