Responsibilities:

  • Create, develop, and refine production patterns for soft dresses, blouses including draped, bias-cut, and fluid silhouettes.

  • Lead fit sessions, analyze fit issues, and implement corrections with a strong understanding of proportion, balance, and ease.
  • Collaborate closely with Design, Technical Design, and Production teams to ensure design intent is maintained through production.
  • Ensure patterns are production-ready, cost-effective, and scalable across sizes.
  • Oversee grading and ensure size consistency across the full size range.
  • Provide clear construction methods and sewing instructions to factories.
  • Review and correct factory patterns and samples when needed.
  • Troubleshoot fit, construction, and fabric behavior issues, especially for soft, fluid, and delicate materials.

  • Expert-level understanding of draping, flat patternmaking, and hybrid techniques.
  • Strong knowledge of woven fabrics, silks, chiffons, satins, jerseys, and other soft or fluid materials.
  • Deep understanding of garment construction, fit standards, and production requirements.
  • Proficient in digital patternmaking software (e.g., Gerber).
  • Experience working with overseas factories and managing production corrections.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
  • Highly detail-oriented with strong problem-solving abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple styles and deadlines simultaneously.

Skills:

  • Experience in luxury or contemporary womenswear.
  • Knowledge of bias-cut garments and draped silhouettes.
  • Experience working with complex constructions, linings, and specialty finishes.
  • Familiarity with size grading standards for international markets.
  • Passionate about fit, craftsmanship, and quality.
  • Proactive, solution-oriented, and adaptable.
  • Strong aesthetic sensibility aligned with modern womenswear.
