USE OF COMPUTER AIDED PATTERN PREPARATION METHOD IN CLOTHING DESIGNING

Today, computer aided pattern systems and related pattern preparation processes are generally used for the purposes of modeling based on given patterns, grading and preparing cutting plans. By means of this methodology, patterns are drawn on actual basis or manually drawn ones logged in computer with modifications being made when necessary. Prepared patterns are saved as data to be used later. Companies of ready-to-wear garments record basic patterns as software in their computers on which to prepare new patterns using modeling processes. This study conducted three different models developed on basic patterns of women pants both manually and in computer to aim at utilising time and labour more efficiently as well as emphasizing effective uses of computer aided pattern systems in patterning and modeling.
