Abstract :
The adoption of digital technologies has transformed the global fashion industry, particularly in the field of
garment design and development. This study on the integration of pattern making techniques essentially highlights
that by utilizing digital pattern making, we achieve accuracy, reduce lead time, and minimize material wastage
compared to traditional methods, which involved paper patterns and significant material waste during draping. Using
variety of software, such as CLO3D/Marvellous/Brozwear3D etc. Digital patterns were created, tested, and virtually
simulated to analyze fit and design variations. The findings reveal that digital pattern making allows for rapid
prototyping, flexible design modifications, and improved collaboration between designers and manufacturers.
Moreover, it supports sustainable practices by reducing fabric consumption during sample production. The research
emphasizes the role of digital tools in reshaping design workflows, offering new opportunities for mass customization
and innovation. This paper contributes to the growing discourse on fashion technology by demonstrating how digital
pattern making, when integrated with garment designing, can bridge the gap between creativity, efficiency, and
sustainability in modern apparel production.
