Direct drafting and pattern making are two important methods used in garment construction for developing garment components. Both methods help in creating garment pieces, but they differ in their approach, purpose, accuracy, and application. Direct drafting is the process of drawing the garment pattern directly onto fabric or pattern paper using body measurements, rulers, curves, and drafting tools. The garment is developed from basic mathematical calculations and standard body measurements without relying on an existing pattern. It requires a thorough understanding of body proportions, garment construction, and drafting principles. This method is commonly used for custom tailoring, where garments are made according to an individual's measurements. It is economical because it does not require an existing pattern, but it demands greater technical skill and precision from the designer or tailor. Pattern making, on the other hand, is the process of developing garment patterns from a basic block or sloper. The basic block is
