What is full-outfit virtual try-on?
Full-outfit virtual try-on renders a complete look — dress, layer, shoes, bag — on a photo of the shopper in a single image, instead of showing one garment at a time. Elara builds the outfit from your live inventory, renders it on the shopper in their chosen sizes, and lets them add the entire look to bag in one tap. It is the step between “I like it” and “I am sure”, which is where most online returns are decided.

the gap
Why does it matter?
01
Models show you the clothes. Mirrors show you yourself.
02
Single-item try-on answers “does this fit”, not “does this work”.
03
Most returns are a surprise that happened at the door.

how it works

- 02The look is assembledElara picks the pieces; the shopper swaps any slot.
- 03Rendered head to heelsEvery piece in the chosen size and colour, one image, under ten seconds.
- 04Straight to bagThe rendered look adds as a set; the photo never leaves the session.

the numbers
What does it do to the numbers?
Industry benchmarks commonly put online apparel return rates at 20–30%, far above in-store. Many of those returns are decided at the door, when the outfit finally meets the body. Showing the complete look on the shopper before checkout moves that moment earlier, while the decision is still cheap to change — for the shopper, who keeps the money, and for you, who keeps the sale.

Who is it for?
