Essential Course
Pattern Drafting with CLO - fitted bodice and sleeve
In this 4 hours course, we will be drafting a standard fitted bodice block with darts and a sleeve block from scratch using CLO3D software. These base patterns are necessary to start creating your own modifications and designs on the pattern. Keep an eye on our upcoming courses as we will also have a course on pattern modifications and the base patterns of skirts and trousers!
The course will start with a basic lecture about pattern making, body types and how to take measurements.
All instructions are also included as course materials so it is easier to follow and iterate the process later on with your measurements.
IMPORTANT! You can also follow the same steps when drawing your pattern on paper.

The No.1 Skill to Have in Fashion in 2024
All major brands in the fashion industry have implemented 3D tools at least in their product development processes. Many have ventured even further, including AR, virtual showrooms, 3D viewers etc on their website or social media.
Learning 3D is the first step you need to take to tackle this whole new age in Fashion and stay competitive, as it is the basis of all the forementioned technologies.
According to McKinsey & Company, fashion brands are expected to double their investment in technology by 2030 to keep up with digital natives and create a competitive edge. Moreover, it states that over 60% of fashion executives believe creating integrated digital processes throughout their organizations will be among their top five areas for digitization as they look to 2025. These statements together with what we have seen already - collaborations, viral CGI marketing campaigns like Jacquemus and Louis Vuitton - draw a clear picture of where the fashion industry is heading.
Multiple publications among the majority of experts have stated that one of the main skills expected from fashion designers and other professionals is proficiency in technology, most importantly 3D software.
Brands might use different kind of 3D software so it might be confusing which one to choose to start learning. The fact is though, that all 3D software is very similar. Once you learn one, changing to another software later will be easy. We have chosen CLO3D as it is the most popular and affordable 3D software.
