Fashion designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, while others drape fabric on a dress form. When a designer is completely satisfied with the fit of the will consult a professional pattern maker who then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of card or via a computerized system. The pattern maker's job is very precise and painstaking. The fit of the finished garment depends on their accuracy. Finally, a sample garment is made up and tested on a model to make sure it is an operational outfit.Myriam Chalek, owner and founder of Creative Business House explains that most of the time fashion designers only have a fashion concept: The technicality and construction is not thought through during the visual conception and sketching process.Hence the fashion designer needs to meet with a pattern maker and sample maker to figure out if the sketch on paper can be brought to life according its vision. Often, fashion designers ignore that designing a garment means conception and production.
