Virtual saree try-on: see any saree draped on you

Sarees are often bought online, especially by families outside India, and a six-yard drape is hard to imagine from a folded product shot. Virtual try-on shows the colour, border and overall look on your own photo, which makes it easier to decide between options for a wedding, festival or family function. It won’t replace a real draping session, but it narrows the choice quickly. Families often share previews over messaging apps to agree on a saree for a wedding before buying – a much easier conversation when everyone can see it on you.

The AI needs to see the saree as it’s worn, so pick a photo of the saree draped on a model rather than a folded or flat-lay image. Make sure the pallu and pleats are visible. Your own photo should be full-length and front-facing; the drape style shown in the outfit photo – Nivi, Bengali or Gujarati – is the one the AI will follow. Choose the outfit photo with the blouse style you want too – sleeveless, elbow-length or full sleeves – since the AI tries on the complete look shown.

Try a Banarasi silk with zari work, a Kanjeevaram in temple colours, a lightweight chiffon or georgette, an organza saree with floral prints, a Chanderi cotton, a Bandhani from Gujarat, a pre-draped designer saree and a sequinned party saree. For weddings, compare a classic red silk with a modern pastel. Lehengas, salwar kameez and Anarkali suits work the same way if you want to compare a saree with another outfit for the same event.
