The clothing pattern maker takes care of translating the design provided by the designer into a sample garment using traditional techniques or innovative technologies and dedicated software that allow him to develop the model. It has the task of preparing the technical documentation for production, developing sizes, and ensuring that the model is reproducible in different materials without losing wearability. The pattern maker follows the realization of the sample garment by carrying out tests of aesthetic and functional evaluation of the garment and obtaining, if necessary, indications for changes and design improvements. He carries out his activity mainly as an employee in the design area of companies of various sizes, from tailoring to industrial, but he can also operate as a self-employed worker, as a freelancer. He relates with the designer, the production manager and with all the main figures involved in the production process of the garment.
