Pattern Development and Optimization Services

Develop a pattern for the perfect fit.

Patternmaker measuring fabric for a garment — Improve patterns to enable accurate production and create consistent fit across sizes.

Lay a solid foundation for your collections - the right pattern.

Hohenstein's experienced pattern makers and clothing engineers help implement patterns according to your design goals. Using either your data or ours, we create basic and model patterns, including grading, to create your required silhouettes.

It's never too late for a good pattern.

Our experts can also correct existing base or model patterns for anything from bedding to sportswear to clothing for kids. We also optimize size sets and finished measurement tables for any target group. Regardless of the manufacturer, ensure a consistent fit across all collections.

Base & 3D Patterns

Start your digital design process with optimized base and 3D patterns.

3D pattern pieces with markings — First, establish a solid basic pattern - traditional or 3D.

A solid pattern is the pre-requisite for good fit and consistent manufacturing. Our Digital Fitting Lab services help you create and grade 3D patterns for valuable simulation, virtual sewing and realistic visualization.

Development

Develop systematically.

Material choice, pattern quality, grading, accessory placement, production conformity, seam construction, avatar quality, size coverage, user movements, etc. - all elements that work together to make - or break - the fit of a garment. Our experienced clothing engineers can help develop or improve the appearance and fit of your designs.

Troubleshooting fit and pattern issues requires experience. Example: "catface".

Data

Use reliable body data.

Our pattern service uses 3D/4D body scanning, your customer data or Hohenstein's existing database. Our database includes measurements of men, women and children from SizeNorthAmerica and SizeGERMANY studies and special target groups such as men’s and women’s plus sizes or seniors.

Certification

This label identifies high quality patterns, optimized for fit, grading and reproducibility.
