ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a garment design aid. In one embodiment the invention comprises a bodice design aid having a rigid spine, a rigid rib slidable along the spine and projecting therefrom and a number of template panels two of which are used at a time, together with the rib and spine, to provide a pattern for the bodice. The panels are slidably secured to the rib and spine so that the size of the pattern may be varied. The position and shape of darts is indicated by members that are pivotally attached to the template panels. In another embodiment the invention comprises a pants design aid which has three template panels that are slidably interconnected to cater for size variations. This aid further has a pivoted member to vary the crutch depth of the pants and two further pivoted members for varying the hip size of the pants. Finally in a further embodiment of the invention there is provided a skirt design aid which has four template panels that are slidably secured together to be pivotally and/or linearly relatively displaceable, so as to cater for different sizes and skirt styles. This skirt aid also has two pivoted members for varying hip sizes.
