Use this guide to find resources for the the inspiration and drawing and software tools of apparel design - finding inspiration in images, forecasting, and historical fashion. We've also included resources for fashion illustration and software to help produce fashion sketches, and a section on historic patterns. We have now expanded the old Fashion Design Guide into three specialized guides:
You can find information on all aspects of technical design, that is patternmaking, draping, and pattern drafting on new guide. This guide also includes information on sizing and pattern grading: Technical Apparel Design: Patternmaking, Draping, and Grading Guide.
You can find information on clothing construction methods on the new guide: Clothing Construction, Alterations, and Tailoring Guide.
And if you have problems finding what you need, remember to ask us!
