Abstract

A method for interactively designing garments includes steps in which: a request for the creation of a garment is received from a user; general body measurements are inputted; said measurements are checked by comparing the inputted values against a database of reference body measurements; a three-dimensional mannequin is rendered on the basis of the body measurements; the body measurements are reexamined on the basis of the model of the three-dimensional mannequin; individual characteristics of the body are analyzed on the basis of the model of the three-dimensional mannequin; a pattern algorithm is created for the garment, containing a step-by-step rendering of the garment, said algorithm being executed automatically and resulting in a graphical rendering of the garment, wherein the coordinates of fiducial points on the garment are determined according to the body measurements; a pattern of the garment is rendered on the basis of said fiducial point coordinates; markings, incisions, fiducial lines and written comments are applied; the fiducial points and the pattern of the garment are reexamined for the intersection of elements of the garment and to check that the lengths of matching seams or details of the garment coincide; a check of the fit of the garment is performed on the mannequin; the rendering of the pattern is checked across a broad range of sizes; and the pattern is exported to a machine-readable format for one or more sizes. The result is a more accurate match between the garment designed and the body shape of a user of the system.
