Flat pattern drafting

Flat pattern drafting is a method used in garment design to create the precise shapes of clothing pieces on paper before sewing. It involves translating measurements and body contours into flat, two-dimensional patterns that serve as templates for cutting fabric. This technique allows designers to develop well-fitting garments by carefully designing shapes that, when sewn together, conform smoothly to the body's curves. It’s essential in fashion design, enabling accurate, consistent production while accommodating various sizes and styles efficiently.
