Virtual Try-On Prompts: Nano Banana Guide

Want to see if red is your color? Or how you'd look in a tuxedo? Nano Banana allows you to digitally "try on" clothes, preserving your identity while completely swapping the outfit.

Understanding Digital Dressing

The challenge with virtual try-on is Fit and Physics. A dress isn't just a texture painted on a body; it has weight, folds, and structure. You need to describe the fabric to get the form.

Example Starting Image

For the examples below, we'll use this look as our subject:

EVENING GOWN

Let's start with the foundation example from the Fashion & Styling overview. Here is the complete, fully detailed prompt to generate the "EVENING GOWN" try-on.

[Subject Image] Change outfit to a luxury evening gown.

Preserve:
- **Identity**: Face, hair, and body shape
- **Pose**: Standing pose
- **Background**: Keep original background

Garment:
- **Item**: Floor-length silk satin evening gown
- **Color**: Ruby red
- **Cut**: Halter neck with high slit on left leg
- **Fit**: Form-fitting bodice, flowing skirt
- **Fabric**: High-gloss satin (reflective)

Details:
- **Drape**: Natural fabric folds pooling on the floor
- **Lighting**: Match the lighting of the original photo

Generated Example

Why This Works

The "High-Gloss Satin": Describing the finish ("high-gloss," "matte," "sheer") tells the AI how to render light reflections. Without this, the dress might look like flat colored paper.

The "Pooling on Floor": Details like "pooling," "billowing," or "cinched" describe the physics of the cloth. This anchors the subject to the ground and adds realism.

The "Form-Fitting" vs "Flowing": Contrasting fit descriptions helps the AI understand the silhouette. A dress can be tight in one place and loose in another.
