BRIEF INTRODUCTION

In today’s fashion world, pattern making has become necessary for a

fashion designer to make garments of different body sizes. Pattern
Drafting is an important part of fashion designing and requires tremendous
skills and practices. If you will be able to understand the basics of pattern
making you will have an insight into how your garments will take shape and
also it is the art of translating a designer's basic idea for a garment into a
real piece of apparel that fits the human body in a flattering way.
