## Abstract (arXiv)

Video virtual try-on aims to transfer a target garment onto a moving person across video frames. Current methods rely on human parsing masks or pose keypoints that frequently fail under large motions and occlusions, causing boundary artifacts and temporal inconsistency. A further limitation is that most approaches rely solely on attention mechanisms for temporal modeling, providing no explicit motion supervision. We propose FlowVVTON, a mask-free framework that eliminates parsing mask dependency entirely. Optical flow is used solely as a training-time supervision signal: a flow-warped latent loss, applied across all layers of the generation model, enforces multi-scale temporal consistency by aligning adjacent-frame features under explicit physical motion constraints. A two-stage training strategy establishes mask-free spatial alignment before introducing flow-guided temporal supervision. Experiments on TikTokDress show that FlowVVTON outperforms baselines by substantial margins, particularly in temporal consistency (5.7× VFID-R improvement over SwiftTry), while requiring no segmentation masks, pose keypoints, or region annotations at any stage.
