Method of Patternmaking in Fashion Institution and Fashion Industry

Abstract

There are many approaches and procedures that can be used to create patternmaking in higher education institutions and the fashion industry. Literature demonstrates that there are several methods that essentially generate patterns such as draping, flat patterns and Computer Aided Design (CAD) that include 2D and 3D applications. Many Malaysian institutions are studying patternmaking using flat pattern and draping [4], which is different from the fashion industry using CAD software. In order to produce skilled workers in the field of patternmaking, they must learn and apply the pattern-making techniques and methods well so that they do not have any problems when it comes to working in the industry or the education sector. This study describes the basic method, process and CAD software that can be used in the field of patternmaking.
