# DraftMySize — Custom Sewing Patterns From Your Measurements > DraftMySize is a web-based parametric sewing pattern generator. Users enter their body measurements (bust, waist, hips, height, etc.) and instantly receive production-ready sewing patterns tailored to their exact body. The platform supports 130+ garment types across women's, men's, kids', and baby categories. All patterns are generated using a proprietary geometry engine — no AI guesswork — ensuring professional-grade accuracy. Patterns export as PDF (A4/Letter/A0), SVG, and DXF files. The service is available at https://draftmysize.com. ## What DraftMySize Does DraftMySize replaces traditional sewing pattern grading with real-time parametric pattern generation. Instead of buying a fixed-size pattern and altering it, users input their exact body measurements and the engine drafts every pattern piece to fit their unique shape. This eliminates the need for pattern alterations. Key capabilities: - **130+ garment types**: T-shirts, dresses, trousers, jackets, coats, swimwear, costumes, baby clothes, accessories, and more. - **Made-to-measure**: Every pattern is generated from the user's personal measurements — not scaled from a standard size. - **Multiple export formats**: PDF (A4, US Letter, A0 for print shops), SVG for projector sewing, DXF for laser cutters and Cricut/Silhouette machines. - **Seam allowance calculator**: Automatically adds configurable seam allowances to every piece. - **Fabric requirement estimator**: Calculates estimated yardage based on the user's measurements. - **Multi-language**: Available in 13 languages — French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Chinese, and Arabic. - **Style variations**: Most garments support multiple styles (e.g., fitted vs. relaxed, short vs. long sleeve). - **Assembly guide**: Step-by-step illustrated sewing instructions included with every pattern. ## Who Is DraftMySize For - **Home sewists** who want patterns that fit their body perfectly without alterations. - **Sewing beginners** who find traditional pattern fitting intimidating. - **Professional seamstresses and tailors** who need fast, accurate custom patterns for clients. - **Fashion design students** learning pattern drafting and garment construction. - **Small clothing brands** that need parametric patterns for made-to-order production. - **Projector and laser cutter users** who need clean SVG/DXF files. ## Pricing - **Free garments** (14 items): T-Shirt, Tank Top, Scarf, Bandana, Headband, Necktie, Sleep Mask, Pillowcase, Oven Mitt, Pouch, Beanie, Bucket Hat, Cap, and Bonnet — completely free, no account needed. - **Premium garments**: All other patterns are $14.99 CAD each (one-time purchase, unlimited regeneration with different measurements). ## Available Garment Categories ### Tops T-Shirt, Polo, Blouse, Shirt, Crop Top, Camisole, Tank Top, Henley, Ruffle Top, Peplum Top, Rugby Shirt ### Outerwear Hoodie, Sweatshirt, Cardigan, Vest, Bomber Jacket, Jacket, Blazer, Parka, Trench Coat, Duffle Coat, Quilted Vest, Doudoune (Puffer Jacket), Poncho, Cape ### Bottoms Trousers, Shorts, Skirt, Pleated Skirt, Circular Skirt, Jupe-Culotte, Palazzo Pants, Cargo Pants, Jogging Pants, Leggings, Sarouel, Culotte Haute (High-Waisted Pants), Bermuda Shorts ### Dresses Dress, Wrap Dress, Sheath Dress, Trapeze Dress, Empire Dress, Mermaid Dress, Bardot Dress, Shirt Dress ### Jumpsuits & Rompers Jumpsuit, Romper, Overalls, Combinaison (Coverall) ### Intimates & Loungewear Pyjama, Nuisette (Nightgown), Slip Dress, Bodysuit, Robe / Kimono, Briefs, Boxer Shorts, Swimsuit ### Baby & Kids Baby Onesie, Baby Sack, Baby Bonnet, Baby Booties, Baby Romper ### Costumes & Special Superhero Cape, Medieval Dress, Toga, Wetsuit, Kimono, Obi Belt ### Home Textiles Cushion Cover, Tote Bag, Apron ## How It Works 1. **Choose a garment** from the marketplace catalog. 2. **Select your body profile**: Women, Men, Kids, or Baby. 3. **Enter your measurements**: The app guides you through exactly which measurements are needed (bust, waist, hips, shoulder width, arm length, inseam, etc.). 4. **Pick a style variant**: Many garments offer multiple styles (e.g., Classic, Fitted, Relaxed, Cropped). 5. **Preview your pattern**: The 2D pattern editor shows all pieces in real-time with interactive zoom, grainline indicators, and dimension overlays. 6. **Export**: Download as PDF, SVG, or DXF.
