Focused technical training
This specialist course concentrates on the technical work behind a finished garment: taking measurements, developing patterns, planning fabric cutting, assembling garments, correcting fit and refining the final finish.
It is intentionally more focused than IIFT's broader 6-month online fashion design diploma, which also covers fashion design fundamentals and boutique management. Choose this course when advanced pattern drafting and construction are your main learning goal.
