According to Radial source at: https://www.radial.com/eur/insights/tech-takes-on-e-commerces-218-billion-returns-problem Fashion e-commerce faces a $218 billion crisis: returns. This issue threatens retailer's profits and sustainability efforts. This isn't just a matter of lost sales; it's a complex issue that impacts customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
Radial further stressed that, 75% of all returns in 2023 were clothing and accessories. Online clothing purchases have a 30% average return rate, with some reports as high as 50%. 80% of people who have returned an online purchase have returned.
To prevent this clothing return rate, maximize profits and sustainability efforts in every E-commerce business, Virtual Dressing AI was born...

Here is a summary of the points on how Perfect Corp Cloth AI helps solve this problems:
1.) The "Try Before You Buy" Solution:
By allowing users to upload their own photo to see a garment on their actual body type, you solve the "Expectation vs. Reality" gap.
The Result: Users only buy items they already know look good on them, which directly reduces return rates by 25% to 40% based
on industry data.
2.) Fit is the #1 Cause of Returns:
In the e-commerce industry, roughly 70% of clothing returns are due to "poor fit" or "style not as expected."
Economic Impact: Every return costs a retailer money for shipping, processing, and often the inability to resell the item at full price.
The Perfect Corp Cloth AI Fix: Virtual fitting rooms provide a visual "Size & Fit" confidence that a standard static image cannot provide.
3.) Reducing "Bracketing" Behavior:
Many shoppers engage in "Bracketing" c—buying the same shirt in Small, Medium, and Large, then returning two of them.
The Perfect Corp Cloth AI Fix: When a user sees the AI "stitch" the garment onto their photo, they get a better sense of how the fabric drapes and fits, discouraging them from ordering multiple sizes.
4.) Environmental & Sustainability Impact:
Fewer returns mean fewer delivery trucks on the road and less packaging waste.
Use Case: For my project, this is a major selling point. I didn't just building a "cool app"; am are building a sustainable e-commerce tool that reduces the carbon footprint of the fashion industry.
5.) Increased Conversion Rates:
Confidence leads to sales. Users who interact with an Perfect Corp Cloth AI fitting tool are 3.5 times more likely to complete a purchase because the uncertainty (the fear that it won't look good) is removed.
In summary: Virtual Dressing AI, is the virtual fitting room that acts as a "Pre-Purchase Filter."
It ensures that the transaction is high-quality, resulting in a satisfied customer and a retailer who doesn't have to deal with the high
costs of a returned package.
