Klein / ComfyUI Clothing State Transfer Issue — How to Preserve Garment Structure While Transferring Natural Floating Fabric Motion?

Problem Description

I’m working on a ComfyUI workflow using a Klein-based image editing model for apparel replacement and motion transfer.

My goal is NOT to regenerate clothing from scratch.

Instead, I want to:

  • replace the clothing from Image 1 with the clothing from Image 2
  • fully preserve the original garment design from Image 2
  • keep all textile appearance, stitching details, fabric texture, proportions, silhouette, and material behavior unchanged
  • transfer the natural floating motion, airflow dynamics, and subtle fabric trajectories from Image 1 onto the clothing from Image 2

The biggest challenge is:

I want the replaced garment to inherit the same natural suspended motion and soft fabric swirl behavior as Image 1, while still keeping the original structure and textile identity of Image 2.

Currently, the model often:

  • redraws the clothing
  • changes garment proportions
  • alters fabric material behavior
  • creates unrealistic floating effects
  • loses subtle delayed cloth motion
  • produces “AI floating cloth” instead of realistic fashion airflow dynamics

What I actually need is:

  • realistic cloth physics
  • subtle gravity tension
  • delayed fabric motion caused by soft airflow
  • natural wrinkle trajectories
  • believable suspended fashion movement
  • controlled commercial photography style motion

Current prompt logic:

Preserve the original garment structure and clothing design from Image 2, including textile appearance, stitching details, fabric texture, proportions, silhouette, and material characteristics.

Remove the original upper clothing and skirt from Image 1, while preserving the scene, composition, lighting, and spatial relationship.

Transfer the natural floating motion and airflow dynamics from Image 1 onto the clothing from Image 2.

Maintain realistic fabric weight, soft gravity tension, subtle suspended movement, natural wrinkle flow, gentle fabric trajectories, and delayed fabric motion caused by soft airflow.

Avoid exaggerated floating, weightless cloth behavior, random twisting, unrealistic deformation, or over-stylized fabric simulation.

Questions:

  1. How can I better preserve garment identity during state transfer?
  2. How should I balance denoise strength vs motion inheritance?
  3. Would IPAdapter + ControlNet + masking be better than prompt-only editing?
  4. Any recommended workflow for “fashion cloth motion transfer” in ComfyUI?
  5. Has anyone achieved realistic suspended apparel dynamics without re-generating the garment?
