Pattern Lab / Capabilities

One garment. Every technical layer behind it.

Pattern Lab India supports apparel development from the first technical pattern through sampling, fit correction, grading, marker planning and digital pattern management.

  • PATTERN
  • SAMPLE
  • FIT
  • GRADING
  • MARKER
  • DIGITAL LIBRARY

Start where you are. We’ll help build what comes next.

  • IDEA / TECH PACK
  • PATTERN ENGINEERING
  • SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT
  • FIT REVIEW
  • PATTERN CORRECTION
  • GRADING
  • MARKER
  • PRODUCTION READY

Not every project needs every service.

Pattern Lab can support an individual development stage or work across multiple connected stages depending on the project requirement.

PL / SERVICE_01

Pattern engineering. Where the garment begins.

We develop digital garment patterns from technical inputs such as Tech Packs, measurement charts, sketches, reference garments and existing patterns.

The pattern is developed around

  • GARMENT MEASUREMENTS
  • SILHOUETTE
  • FIT REQUIREMENT
  • CONSTRUCTION
  • FABRIC
  • EASE
  • BALANCE
  • SEAM ALLOWANCE
  • PRODUCTION REQUIREMENT

Potential inputs

  • TECH PACK
  • MEASUREMENT CHART
  • SKETCH
  • REFERENCE GARMENT
  • EXISTING PATTERN
  • REFERENCE IMAGES

Potential outputs

  • DIGITAL PATTERN
  • BASE SIZE
  • PATTERN DETAILS
  • DEVELOPMENT FILE
Digital Pattern Making
PL / SERVICE_02

From pattern to physical product. Don’t imagine it. See it.

A pattern becomes meaningful when it becomes a garment.

Samples evaluate the relationship between

  • PATTERN
  • MEASUREMENTS
  • CONSTRUCTION
  • FABRIC
  • PROPORTION
  • FIT
  • PATTERN
  • CUTTING
  • STITCHING
  • MEASUREMENT
  • FIT REVIEW
  • CORRECTION
  • FINAL SAMPLE
Sample Development
PL / SERVICE_03

Something doesn’t fit. Find out why.

Garment fit problems can originate from pattern balance, measurements, construction, ease, fabric behaviour or the relationship between multiple areas of the garment.

Pattern Lab reviews the garment and pattern together to determine what needs to change.

Common issues include

  • SLEEVE TWISTING
  • COLLAR GAPING
  • SHOULDER DROPPING
  • CHEST PULLING
  • TIGHT ARMHOLE
  • EXCESS BACK FABRIC
  • TROUSER CROTCH PROBLEMS
  • SIDE SEAM MOVEMENT
  • UNEVEN HEM
  • BALANCE PROBLEMS
Fit Correction
PL / SERVICE_04

One approved fit. Every required size.

Once the base pattern is approved, controlled grading develops the required size range while maintaining the intended relationship between garment measurements, proportion and balance.

Grading is not simply making everything bigger.

Example

  • XS
  • S
  • M
  • L
  • XL
  • XXL

Potential inputs

  • APPROVED BASE PATTERN
  • SIZE CHART
  • GRADE RULES / CUSTOMER REQUIREMENT

Potential outputs

  • GRADED SIZE RANGE
  • DIGITAL GRADED PATTERNS
Pattern Grading
PL / SERVICE_05

Every centimetre of fabric has a cost. Better marker. Better utilisation.

Marker planning determines how efficiently pattern pieces use the available fabric width.

Markers are developed considering

  • FABRIC WIDTH
  • PATTERN PIECES
  • SIZE RATIO
  • GARMENT QUANTITY
  • GRAIN DIRECTION
  • NAP
  • ONE-WAY REQUIREMENTS
  • CHECKS
  • STRIPES
  • TECHNICAL RESTRICTIONS

Potential outputs

  • PRODUCTION MARKER
  • COSTING MARKER
  • MARKER EFFICIENCY
  • FABRIC CONSUMPTION
Marker Planning

1.62 M→1.56 Mper garment

0.06 M×10,000 garments= 600 M

Small differences scale quickly.

Marker optimisation should always respect garment and fabric constraints, but even small consumption improvements can become commercially meaningful at production scale.

PL / SERVICE_06

Your patterns are assets. Build the digital library.

Physical patterns are valuable technical assets.

Pattern Lab can support conversion of physical pattern libraries into organised digital pattern files.

Benefits can include

  • PATTERN PRESERVATION
  • DIGITAL STORAGE
  • FASTER RETRIEVAL
  • VERSION MANAGEMENT
  • REMOTE SHARING
  • PATTERN MODIFICATION
  • GRADING
  • MARKER DEVELOPMENT
  • REDUCED DEPENDENCE ON PHYSICAL STORAGE
Pattern Digitisation

Ways to work with Pattern Lab

Three ways to engage.

01

Single Service

For customers who know exactly what they require.

  • Pattern Development
  • Grading
  • Marker
  • Digitisation
02

Connected Development

For customers requiring multiple stages.

  • Pattern
  • Sample
  • Fit Correction
  • Grading
03

Development Partner

For brands requiring ongoing technical support across multiple styles or collections.

  • Multiple Styles
  • Ongoing Development
  • Pattern Library
  • Sampling
  • Grading
  • Marker Planning
  • Technical Coordination

Engineering changes with the garment.

Different apparel categories require different pattern, fit and construction approaches. Pattern Lab can support development across:

  • Menswear
  • Womenswear
  • Kidswear
  • Uniforms
  • Workwear
  • Sportswear
  • Selected Technical Apparel

Built for apparel businesses.

  • Fashion Brands
  • Garment Manufacturers
  • Fashion Designers

  • Exporters
  • Buying Houses
  • Sourcing Companies
  • Private Labels
  • International Brands

Pattern Lab can work as an individual technical service provider or as an extension of the customer’s product-development team.

Remote Development

The file can travel before the garment does.

Many Pattern Lab services can begin digitally. International customers can share:

  • Tech Packs
  • Measurement Charts
  • Technical Sketches
  • Reference Images
  • Existing Digital Patterns
  • Fit Comments

Pattern Lab can then coordinate the required development remotely.

Where physical sample development is involved, sample-review and courier workflows can be agreed according to the project.
