10 Fit and Adjust:
- Try on the prototype to assess the fit and look.
- Make any necessary adjustments to the gathers, pleats, tucks, flare, or overall shape.
11 Finalize Pattern

- Transfer any adjustments made during the fitting onto the pattern.
- Finalize the pattern by smoothing out curves, truing seam lines, and labeling pieces.
12 Make Additional Variations:
- Once you have a well-fitting pattern, experiment with different fabric choices, lengths, sleeve options, and
embellishments to create various garment styles.
Additional Tips
- Experiment with the density and spacing of gathers, pleats, and tucks to achieve different effects.

- Keep in mind the drape and weight of the fabric when incorporating flare into the design.
- Take your time during the drafting process to ensure accuracy and balance in the design elements.
- Consider how the design elements will interact with each other and with the wearer’s body for both aesthetic
and functional purposes.

By following these steps and experimenting with different design elements, you can create patterns for garments
with gathers, pleats, tucks, and flare that are unique and visually striking.
