      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a submission for the &lt;a href="https://dev.to/challenges/hacktoberfest-week1-2026-10-05"&gt;Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I Built&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A virtual try-on web app. You upload a photo of yourself and a photo of a garment, and it shows you how the outfit might look on you. The results are image, size or fit suggestion&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How it gets people off the screen: Shopping and outfit-picking usually mean an hour of scrolling, ordering multiple sizes and returning half of them. With a try-on, the decision takes a minute, and then you close the laptop and go out, whether that’s the market, campus or a trail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Who it’s for: college students, online shoppers who want fewer returns and less screen time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Demo&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Code&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How I Built It&lt;br&gt;
 My first version was vibe coded: the interface worked and looked right, but there was no real AI doing the try-on. The rebuild was about replacing that with an actual open model.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Open-weight AI at the core:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gemma (Google’s open-weight model):The model itself analyses the garment or the photo, suggesting an outfit, writing the fit description.]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rest of the stack (not the open-source AI part):&lt;/p&gt;
