How One Handmade Seller Doubled Sales with Model Photos

When Meera started her handmade clothing brand, she dreamed of bringing slow fashion to life — breathable cottons, hand-block prints, soft silhouettes made with care.

Her designs were beautiful.
Her craft? Extraordinary.

But her photos? Flat.

Like many small creators, Meera relied on flatlays and folded-garment shots on neutral backdrops. They were neat and functional — but they didn’t move people. Shoppers struggled to imagine the pieces on a real person, and the listings didn’t stand out in social feeds crowded with aspirational lifestyle photography.

Her page looked tidy, but her sales were stuck.

Clothes That Looked Good — But Didn’t Feel Good

Dropoff points:

• The colors looked dull in indoor lighting.
• The texture of the fabric didn’t pop.
• And the scale — impossible to tell if a kurta was cropped or calf-length.

Each post felt like a listing, not a lifestyle.

When Meera did occasionally post photos of herself wearing her creations, the response was instant:
comments, saves, shares — all doubled.

But there was a catch.

Coordinating model shoots every season? Too expensive.
Finding models who fit her aesthetic? Too time-consuming.
Editing, lighting, reshoots? Overwhelming for a one-woman brand.

She needed professional, on-model imagery without the cost or scheduling headaches of an in-person photoshoot.That’s when she discovered Blend’s Try On.

From Static Flatlays to Styled Model Photos

Blend’s Try On changed everything. The feature automatically placed her clothing on a realistic model image that fit her brand aesthetic — matching lighting, skin tone, posture, and context.

All Meera had to do was upload her regular product photo — a dress, a kurti, a blouse, or even a saree.

Try On let her:

• Place her handmade pieces on realistic model images (multiple body types and skin tones) for inclusive representation.
• Produce a mix of full-body lifestyle shots and close-up on-model detail photos to replace static flatlays.
• Maintain consistent styling and brand tone by batching image production with brand-friendly backgrounds and subtle props.

No photoshoots. No retouching. No endless weekends spent chasing the perfect backdrop.

When Meera uploaded her new summer collection — linen dresses and block-printed tops — she had a full set of editorial-quality model photos in minutes.

Her Instagram grid went from “product shots” to a fashion lookbook.

Realistic Photos, Real Sales

Within a week of switching to Try On images, Meera’s engagement metrics started climbing:

• Saves up by 250%
• Profile visits up by 60%
• Sales for her new collection doubled compared to the previous drop

Her customers started commenting things like:

“Now I can actually see how it fits — love this!”
“The model photos look so real — helps so much with styling ideas!”

People weren’t just scrolling anymore.
They were imagining.

That’s the magic of Try On — it helps buyers see themselves in your designs before they ever add to cart.

Let Your Designs Win

Meera didn’t change her craft.
