3D Fit Development & Pattern Refinement – From Concept to Production for Petit Clair

This project showcases the comprehensive development process for multiple styles, utilizing Optitex 3D fitting technology, pattern corrections, and grading refinements to ensure consistent and scalable fit across the brand’s collection. The focus was on enhancing fit accuracy, improving construction details, and aligning grading with brand standards before production.

Key Contributions:

Concept & Design Development

• Developed a range of styles, each incorporating unique design elements, piping details, and silhouette refinements.

• Created flat sketches, tech packs, and construction notes to guide the production process.

3D Fit & Pattern Adjustments

• Conducted multiple rounds of 3D fittings using Optitex 3D to analyze proportions and movement.

• Made critical pattern corrections to refine balance, grading, armhole shaping, hemline, and drape.

• Ensured accurate digital-to-physical translation for real-world garment production.

Technical Design & Spec Development

• Developed detailed spec sheets and measurement charts to standardize fit across sizes.

• Created a grading strategy that maintained proportional fit from smaller to larger sizes.

• Conducted size set evaluations and wear testing to validate final fit before production approval.

Production & Manufacturing Oversight

• Partnered with factories to ensure accurate execution of the design and technical specifications.

• Finalized fabric selection, colorways, and branding details to maintain consistency across styles.

• Provided factory guidance on construction improvements to enhance garment durability and quality.

This multi-style project successfully streamlined the fit development process, utilizing Optitex 3D technology and technical expertise to ensure cohesive fit, improved grading, and production efficiency. By implementing digital fittings and data-driven adjustments, the brand was able to reduce sample rounds, improve sizing consistency, and enhance overall garment quality before launch.
