• Base Pattern of the Straight Tailored Skirt

    Learn the complete logic behind the straight tailored skirt, one of the essential patterns in geometric patternmaking. This guide explains the required measurements, the structural principles of the draft, and the differences between male and female morphology, illustrated with a hybrid figure created specifically for this project. It includes a detailed drafting video, professional tips, and recommended tools for both workshop and digital patternmaking.

  • Geometry in Pattern Making – The Skirt

    Geometric pattern making relies on simple shapes —circles, triangles, rectangles— to build garments with mathematical precision and a clear method.
    In this article, learn how to calculate and draw a circle skirt using the gardener’s compass, from formulas and proportions to practical drafting.
    Perfect for fashion students and professionals who value precision and method.

  • The Dictatorship of Fashion: The Body Against the Number

    Fashion no longer dresses bodies —it organizes desires.
    This TeleVirtualPatronage manifesto denounces the shift from craft to spectacle, from tailoring to algorithms, from body to number.
    Bobo, the god-logo, mirrors the system’s sickness.

  • Combinations of structures

    A pattern maker doesn’t judge: they measure and adapt. This article explores how pattern making translates the body into proportions and structures, showing eight possible morphologies from the crossing of internal and external structures. A technical act that is also respect for body diversity

  • Equality lies in inequality

    Equality does not mean uniformity. This post examines the morphological differences between male and female bodies and their impact on pattern making

  • Measurements 3 – Female front bust

    This article explains how to measure the front bust height on the female body and how to calculate the vertical bust development, a key parameter in pattern making. The differences between front and back bust measurements define the body shape and help build balanced, accurate patterns
