Build accurate pattern pieces right in CLO3D, or bring them in from Illustrator or Affinity Designer.
Check fit, drape and sizing in 3D, and fix problems before they reach fabric.
Print, cut and sew a garment you already know will fit.
A 6-month program where you learn CLO3D pattern drafting on the path that fits your goal. Nobody in the Academy has to make the same garment.
