Pattern Blocks
Start from a proven fit, not a blank page
Every garment begins from one of our proven base blocks, tested and refined on real people to achieve an accurate, consistent fit. Whether you’re a seasoned label or launching your first range, we help you move from concept to production faster and smarter.
- 200+ pre-approved blocks across womenswear, menswear, kids, underwear, swim and active
- Refined through a minimum of three fit rounds by our Garment Technologists, Pattern Makers and Designers
- Fewer sampling rounds, less fabric waste and shorter development time
