• A pattern is the blueprint for your garment: the set of shapes your fabric is cut from. Every style starts here.

    - First patterns from your sketch, reference garment or brief

    - Lingerie, swim and ready-to-wear, across all apparel categories

    - Digital patterns in factory-ready formats (.dxf, .rul) and PDF

    - Updates and amendments to existing patterns

  • An exact 3D model of your garment, built in CLO3D from the real pattern.

    – Pattern changes update the model instantly, at any stage of development

    – Fit, drape and proportion checked on screen before sewing

    – Fewer physical samples, saving time, fabric and cost

  • The instruction manual a factory uses to make your garment, often called a tech pack.

    – Measurements, construction details, fabrics and trims

    – Clear, visual layouts written in the language factories use, reducing back-and-forth

  • Grading turns your sample size into a full size range.

    – Grade rules and graded pattern sets

    – Size charts and body measurement databases

    – Custom grades for a more inclusive fit

What is CLO3D and how does it work for me? It is 3D simulation software used in the fashion industry. It lets me build a flat pattern and allows me to drape and fit it to a virtual body Because it looks a bit like a game or a rendering tool, it&rsq
Fit check: This factory pattern for an oversized, boxy shirt is meant to have a clean, tidy finish. Here’s what’s stopping it from hitting the brief: Both the front and back swing toward the centre. The shoulder slope is the culprit. T
The sizing mix-up I see on repeat
So exciting to witness @shop.squeeze building up a collection of pieces, all carefully considered by founder Eloise who manages to source the best fabrics, like the crispy silk dupion of the Duality Capris or the deadstock cotton of the Blue Top Blou
Love the Park Top in Sorrel by @harris_tapper for their PF27 collection. Straight edges and godet inserts combine to form a cascading hemline, with a neckline detail cut to create waves. Pockets (of course) and tiny straps offset the volume. Such
Always a thrill and an inspiration to see what the team @ohenunderwear will come up with next. The Balconette Bra and the French Brief here in their latest colourway 'candy', worn by @fabiennedistelzwey and captured by @steven_acres All Ohen patte

Looking back at the time this @entire_studios coat featured on the cover of @side__note I have never not made some kind of prototype (be it digital or real) to go with my patterns and this was from the time before I was using clo3D. I can still feel
I loved the process of creating the Chloe Jacket for @harris_tapper FW26 collection. Working from @laurentapper 's drawing I started by drafting the pattern on screen using @itsclo3d . I digitally sewed and fitted the pattern pieces together and wh
It has been such a delight to work on some pieces for @sonnie.store including the development of their jeans and jorts. Children’s wear is all about the grade - in some ways it’s more complex than for adults, with a significant increase
Posted to stories a while ago, but still very much on my mind so adding to grid. Keep an eye on that crotch point grade friends, we want our trousers to look like the first slide across all sizes, not just the smalls. 👀
Looking back to 2024, this sculpted puffer was so fun to work on, worn here by the amazing @rosalia.vt Pattern and prototypes by me Working alongside @youhankhosho and the team @entire_studios , jacket specially developed for @khy
She’s looking at grading again, tops in particular with a special focus on the bust dart. *update* Try this instead: Grade the garment as normal, you may wish to consider a smaller grade at front neck, and across shoulder. Adjust the bust
Some thoughts on grading from last year’s stories, compiled here in a more permanent post. This stuff is always on my mind and I want to give it more attention, it’s often up against the more exciting ✨new pattern development work✨and b
An absolute pleasure to make patterns / prototypes alongside @laurentapper @celia.thomson and the team for the @harris_tapper SS26 collection. Each and every piece that is handed over to me becomes an obsession for a period of time, before letting i
Such a thrill to see a piece I have worked on used in a shoot by the incredible @szilvesztermako , worn by the talented @ellefanning ⭐️ The Scarfcoat by @entire_studios, pattern and prototype work by me alongside @manubas_ @youhankhosho and the team
Love this one @harris_tapper in @side__note
The Orchid Skirt for @entire_studios Contrasting fabric faces and exposed seams highlight the clever folds of this pattern. A joy to work on alongside @manubas_ and the team 🖤
The Trist Dress for @entire_studios A beautiful exercise in pattern manipulation and balance.
