The skirt was designed on Optitex in order to see how the program works virtually versus made by traditional pattern making and draping methods.  
I developed the pattern using a traditional sloper then scanned it onto the program.  From there I developed the pattern. 

Fit Problems

  • Difference between short and long side were harder to see.
  • Skewed pleat.
  • Skirt on the side with the pleat was too long.
  • Needed to shorted the shorter side.​
  • Need to fix CF where short side of skirt and long side of skirt joins on front & back.

Conclusion

After using Optiex in order to create the pattern, I changed the pattern using traditional pattern making and draping skills in order to change the placement of the pleats. I did change the pleat and the lengths of the skirt on Optitex for grading and for marker reports.
