What Is a Dressmaking Pattern?
Dressmaking patterns may refer to guidance patterns created by student or professional designers that help them create either a single or multiple dresses in a number of sizes. More often, the term pattern is used to discuss paper patterns that are available to people who sew at home. These patterns, which were once exceptionally common as a way of producing and obtaining clothing, have fallen off in popularity with fewer people knowing how to sew, and with the inexpensive nature of many clothing alternatives in stores.
