Students use and refine advanced skills in patternmaking, fit, garment construction, and production to create lingerie, swimwear, and tailored garments.
Students learn CAD and Pattern Aided Design (PAD) to make, digitise, and grade patterns, and learn to create digital drawings and storyboards, as well as extending their knowledge of textile technology and garment manufacturing.
