Various approaches in pattern making for garment sector

Abstract

Today’s garment-making technology has exceeded expectations, has become easier to learn and quickly adapt completely to the specific necessities of apparel designing. The fit is the most significant deciding factor related to the final acceptance or rejection of a garment. Getting to right design is as important as getting a right product with a perfect fit. The well-tailored fit is dependent on the pattern drafting integrating dimensions of the fit model having various shapes, contour and proportions. With the beginning of the industrial revolution and advances in textiles and clothing manufacturing, standardized patterns were vital to the success of ready-to-wear clothing. New technology platforms are facilitating greater flexibility in the areas of pattern designing, grading, marker making, waste reduction, increase in efficiency and accuracy of the cutting room and create accurate samples in time to help reduce costs are some advantage of using of computer-aided design (CAD) system in composite garment manufacturing. Increase in product development costs, the rise in shipping charges, and awful decision making are an entity that many businesses cannot afford. Efforts are required to drive a product to get to the market faster and are saleable. With that in mind, use of advanced technology in apparel manufacturing is an essential competitive advantage for retailers, brands, and manufacturers alike. This paper was designed to understand the various methods of pattern making systems.
