    "body_text": "Flat token sequences can entangle garment structure with local measurements, producing redundant pieces and poor simulation behavior. GarmentWeaver builds compact hierarchical targets, uses a pretrained vision-language model for multimodal design cues and adds feasibility-aware regularization. The authors report more accurate, executable patterns and better simulations than strong baselines. The system generates digital sewing specifications under its schema; the experiments do not establish manufacturing readiness for every fabric, body or design.",
