Something feels manipulated about this, but it also feels like the author/photographer went out of their way to make sure you couldn’t prove it was manipulated
What you’re likely seeing as throwing you off is differences because this is an actual human wearing this - PLUS it’s essentially an optical illusion. This isn’t 3 versions of the same image with just the pattern changed. So yeah, these are actually not perfectly matching up if you overlay them on top of each other. I wouldn’t say manipulated per se, just that they’re 3 different images so they’ll have some differences.

Yup.
So let’s take the body/pose on the right, copy it to all three positions mask the dress only, and overlay only the dress pattern in the same mask to actually show the differences between the patterns only.
