04 — Pattern Development

The pattern is the product.

Body, sleeve and facing pieces engineered so the ruching gathers evenly and the cocoon drape falls without twisting — volume by calculation, not chance.

05 — Pattern Grading

Every size, the same silhouette.

The graded nest preserves the fit intent in every size — proportions scale together, not just outward.

06 — Marker Making

Cut with minimal waste.

The production marker nests every piece for maximum fabric utilisation — plotter-ready for the cutting table.
