Brand: Andressa

Purpose: To develop accurate, fit-ready digital patterns using qualified CAD Software/ Printers/ Brown Paper, translating design concepts into technically sound patterns while maintaining garment fit, construction accuracy and design integrity.

Context: Andressa develops contemporary womenswear defined by modular luxury, architectural silhouettes, transformative garments, utility with elegance and premium restraint. The Pattern Maker will support design development, sampling and technical refinement, focusing on digital pattern development, grading, fit corrections and organised pattern documentation. Experience in manual pattern drafting and draping will complement the digital pattern-making process.

Role Accountabilities:

Pattern Development

- Draft base patterns from blocks and measurements.
- Interpret tech packs into accurate pattern specifications.
- Adapt existing blocks for new garment design requirements.
- Draft intricate panels, cut-outs and shaped components.
- Develop patterns for structured couture silhouettes.
- Digitise paper patterns using professional CAD software.
- Implement approved design changes in digital patterns
- Mark seam allowances and grainlines on pattern pieces.
- Mark notches, drill points, darts and pattern symbols.

Surface Development & Embellishment Coordination

- Prepare motif templates for surface embellishments.
- Map embroidery layouts across adjoining garment panels.
- Mark motif positions and registration points accurately.
- Coordinate motif placement with designers and karigars.
- Account for embellishments during pattern development.

Pattern Grading & Fit Development

- Grade patterns across approved sizes and size ranges.
- Check graded measurements against approved size charts.
- Analyse fitting feedback to identify pattern corrections.
- Resolve garment balance, ease and proportion issues.
- Refine darts, seams, armholes and neckline shaping.
- Apply approved fit corrections across graded patterns.

Garment Construction & Technical Coordination

- Prepare pattern pieces for complex garment construction.
- Account for linings, facings and internal support structures.




- Validate pattern fit through toile and sample fittings.
- Correct construction-related faults through pattern adjustments.
- Check alignment across detachable garment components.
- Coordinate pattern revisions with designers and karigars.

Technical Documentation & Pattern Control

- Review marker layouts to improve fabric utilisation.
- Maintain digital patterns, size nests and revision logs.
