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.

Keywords : Digital Pattern Making, Garment Design, CAD, 3D Virtual Prototyping, Artificial Intelligence, Mass Customization, Sustainable Fashion, Industry 4.0, AR/VR in Fashion.
