Pattern Making Software - create perfect patterns digitally

No. Fashion Dot is designed for tailors, not engineers. The interface uses simple measurement inputs and garment selection. Our training covers everything in one day.

Available in English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada. Training is provided in your preferred language by our regional team.

Yes. Create new patterns from scratch, modify existing patterns, and save custom designs to your personal library for instant reuse.

Yes. All Fashion Dot licenses include lifetime free updates. New patterns and features are pushed automatically to your computer.

There are free drawing tools. There is no free tool that drafts a full-size pattern to a customer’s measurements and prints it, because the drafting rules have to be built in.

Most shops are drafting their own orders within a week, provided the training happens in the language the cutting staff actually speak.

Yes, and saving your modified version as your own model is where most of the long-term value sits — a design a customer brought on her phone becomes a reusable pattern.

A shop computer and a printer or plotter that takes 15-inch continuous roll paper. An ordinary A4 printer cannot produce a usable full-scale pattern.

Six things, and it is worth checking them on paper at the demo: the cutting line with seam allowance, the sewing line inside it, the grain line, notches where pieces meet, any darts, and the piece name with how many to cut. An outline on its own is a drawing, not a pattern.

Grading is producing a full size set from one draft. On a single customer order it never comes up; on a uniform order, a family order or three sizes of one design it is the whole job. It is not scaling - the neck barely changes between sizes while the chest and waist change a lot.

Not directly - nothing transfers itself. Photograph them first so they cannot be lost, use the library for your common garments, and recreate only the two or three drafts that are genuinely your own. Keep the paper for a year; nobody trusts the system until they stop reaching for the roll.

No. A full-scale pattern needs a printer or plotter that takes 15-inch continuous roll paper. An A4 printer can only produce tiled sheets that have to be taped together, which defeats the point.

No, and no software does. The same draft falls differently in georgette than in raw silk, and heavy embroidery drops the hem after a few hours of wear. The draft is accurate; allowing for the cloth is still the cutter's judgement.

It is a one-time licence, not a monthly subscription, and the figure depends on which garment modules you need and whether you take a printer, plotter, projector or laser with it. Every package and its price is published on our tailoring CAD software price page, with EMI available on every plan.

Yes. The software runs in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and English, and the installation training is given in the same language. That is usually the difference between a tool that gets used daily and one that is bought and quietly abandoned.

For boutique work the measurement engine and the stored pattern matter more than anything else - a returning customer's second order is drafted from the fit that already worked. Bulk and uniform units get more from grading and nesting instead, so the honest answer depends on what you cut.

No - it is one software with modules for each. There are separate pages describing the blouse, chudithar, dress and gents modules in detail, but they all run on the same licence and the same 1000+ pattern library.

One-time. The licence is perpetual with updates included, so the patterns you draft stay yours to reprint and re-grade for as long as you run the shop. EMI is available on every plan.
