Provided are an apparatus and method for transferring garment draping between avatars. A virtual reference garment, which is modeled with meshes whose plurality of vertices are connected to each other by springs and is designed to closely adhere to a body surface, is prepared. The virtual reference garment is draped on a source avatar. The same virtual reference garment is also draped on a target avatar. As a correspondence map between the avatars, pairs of pieces of position information of meshes of the virtual reference garment draped on the source avatar and corresponding meshes of the virtual reference garment draped on the target avatar are calculated. According to another aspect, deformation transformations between the meshes of the virtual reference garment draped on the source avatar and the corresponding meshes of the virtual reference garment draped on the target avatar are calculated and stored as deformation transformations between the avatars.
