FASHION FLAT SKETCHES - CAD TECHNICAL DRAWINGS

A flat sketch or fashion CAD is a two - dimensional technical drawing which illustrates a garment with basic solid lines.



It is basically a "blueprint" of your design — much like an architect's blueprint for a house before they can begin to construct it.

The word "flat" refers to the way that they are drawn: imagine the garment is lying flat on a table so that you are viewing all the details from either the front or the back.

Aside from front/back views, some brands will include drawings of details or the side views to show how panels travel around the body or how sections of the garment should be constructed.

WHY THEY ARE VITAL FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT?




Fashion technical drawings are an essential part of the garment specification sheet or technical pack, they give your pattern-maker and your manufacturer's sewing teams all the information they need about the technical components of a piece.

For the people responsible to turn your idea into a finished, fit for purpose product,  they need detailed clear drawings so they can produce your vision accurately.



It is expected and customary when you draw these technical drawings to do a front and back views of your product at a minimum.

Why is a flat sketch important?

A flat sketch serves as an essential part of the garment specification sheet—or tech pack—that goes to the patternmaker and sewing team. The drawing gives the patternmaker the information they need about the technical components that make up each garment
