Measurements

Turn on Measurements above, then type any of the 14 measurements into the boxes beside the mannequin. It reshapes to match, and life-size fabric prints scale with it. Adults start as a 6-foot model.

Clothes follow the mannequin

When this is on, clothes resize automatically as you change measurements, proportions or the type of mannequin.

Trace a photo

Put a photo under the page to trace over — a runway look, a garment or one of your paper sketches. It’s left out when you save.

Pleats & gathers

These are in the Pleats & gathers button at the top of the page, so they’re always in reach.

Cutting

Fabric needed width

An estimate at the mannequin’s real size: each piece is cut front and back with seams, hem and pleat/gather fullness, then laid out across the fabric width. Buy a little extra — and more for prints or plaids you need to match.

Pick the Clothes tool (hanger) in the toolbar and tap a piece on the page to reshape, stretch, pleat, gather or cut it.

Draw a garment outline, then use Fill and tap inside it. Tap a fabric spot beside the mannequin to show your choice there.

Pick fill colors from the palette beside the page (Fill side).

Pearls, rhinestones, sequins, beads and tassels take the trim color. Cowrie shells, gold studs and coins keep their natural colors.

Trim color

To change a color later, pick the Pointer, tap the trim, then tap Color — or pick a new trim color while it's selected. To move one, drag it with the Pointer.

Built-in trims and appliqués use the drawing color (also in the toolbar), and the Size slider sets how big they are. Ones from your photos keep their real colors and real size.
