Pattern Grading
Size development with consistent grade rules for fashion collections, sample size sets, and production runs. We apply grading rules suited to your garment category and target market.
Marker Making
Marker layouts for womenswear and menswear to support fabric planning, cutting efficiency, costing, and production organization. Helps reduce fabric waste and plan yardage accurately.

Sample Correction & Fitting
Fit corrections, balance adjustments, and pattern revisions following fittings or sample review. We translate fitting comments into clear corrected pattern files ready for the next round.
Construction Instructions
Clear garment construction notes including stitching details, seam treatments, order of operations, and assembly direction to help sample makers and production teams execute the design.

Service areas
One designer-focused service page, not location-only copy.
Fashion designers usually need more than a location phrase. They need interpretation: silhouette, proportion, fabric behavior, sample feedback, and a pattern package that reflects the design intent. Remote projects can start with sketches, sample photos, measurements, fitting notes, and fabric details, while Los Angeles clients can also coordinate local review when needed.

Can a fashion sketch become a pattern?

Can you correct an existing pattern?
Yes. Existing patterns can be corrected after sample review, fitting notes, or design changes.
