THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced Patternmaker to join our client’s womenswear team, with a strong focus on dresses and occasionwear. You will be responsible for translating design concepts into accurate patterns that balance creativity, technical precision, and commercial viability.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Create accurate first patterns from design sketches, drapes, or CAD, with a specialty in dresses and dress-specific features (bodice, waist shaping, sleeves, drapes, and structured details).
• Work across a variety of fabrics (silk, crepe, chiffon, cotton, stretch, and embellished cloths) ensuring patterns support both fit and design intent.
• Collaborate closely with Designers, Machinists, and the Technical team to refine fit, construction, and grading.
• Conduct fittings, take notes, and update patterns accordingly for production readiness.
• Ensure patterns meet brand standards for silhouette, balance, and proportion while being efficient for sampling and manufacturing.
• Contribute technical expertise on construction methods, fabric behaviour, and garment finishing to achieve premium quality womenswear.
• Maintain digital and physical pattern libraries, ensuring patterns are organised and production-ready.
