I have been grading my products pattern.
I am Fashion designer!
Grading is adjustment of original pattern to widen or shorten its size.
Original pattern was made in ex-country. So I need change to US size.
Several method are in Grading, including using computer. I was tought manual method, which in patterns makes several lines to widen or shorten by each several 0.05, 0.1 or 0.2 inches.
Currently I am grading pant. Pant consists of several parts, requires precise execution.
Before finalize it, Confirmation of appearance is needed. My lectuarer, who have experience in apparel for many years, also said it is adjusted by basting.
I often discern women's proportion of body here well, if additional adjustment is needed or not, for example thigh and front rize etc.
I changed several parts irregurally for US size.
I agree with my lectuarer, because Fashion has its existance needs to discern appearance by torso. I also make basting by hand sewing, looking at every pattern carefully. This process is very useful to know patterns.
I am learning Illustrator, so-called "AI" by file code, though grading is by manual. "AI" is standard skill in Fashion. I drew this illustration above by "AI". It would infliate my creativity to Fashion, adding Photoshop.
My products are coming up at Online shop at Etsy soon.
