Ability to create accurate flat fashion sketches is what differentiates a fashion industry professional from an amateur. This website offers free resources for accurate and stylish fashion technical drawing. We focus on pencil and marker techniques. We are focusing on fashion flat sketching and drawing and sketching because we convinced that CAD should be founded on the knowledge and skills obtained through sketching on paper. A computer is no substitute for your brain: figure out your project on paper before jumping to the computer. Sketching is a form of visual thinking: therefore, to help you to think your project through, we include terminology, seams and stitched and some elements of apparel design in our sources.

We believe that there is no such thing as beautiful flats: there are accurate ones. The beauty of fashion flat sketch in its correctness. Make your design beautiful and let your flats reflect on the beauty of your design. This is how we see it; this is how we built our site. In addition to free resources, we offer books and downloads for professional practice
