Drafting
As a foundational pillar in apparel design, Drafting initiated a profound transformation in the fashion and tailoring worlds upon its systematization as a core skill. It single-handedly democratized precise pattern creation by migrating the craft from relying solely on draping or imprecise free-hand methods to the much more accessible, measurement-based calculations on a flat surface. This pivotal shift dismantled previous fit, consistency, and reproducibility barriers, placing powerful, technical flat-pattern tools into the hands of countless designers and pattern makers globally.
