The Atelier

LINGERIE, CORSETRY & SWIMWEAR DESIGN / PATTERN MAKING

The Atelier is a design and development studio for lingerie, swimwear and corsetry brands.

Here’s what I can help you with:

Concept & Design Creation

Do you have a general idea for your next collection but you need to translate it into a cohesive concept and detailed designs? We can work together to refine your ideas and develop a full collection. You’ll walk away with moodboards, a color and fabric inspiration panel and a lineup of CAD designs that will match your brand aesthetic and customer base.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION PACKS

If you want to make sure that your garments turn out exactly the way you imagined, an accurate tech pack is essential. I’ll provide you with tech packs that describe all the key details of your garments, ensuring that the first samples come right and the final production runs smoothly.

pattern development & grading

I can help you turn your beautiful designs into well-fitting patterns, and grade them across all the different sizes that your brand offers. All patterns will be production-ready and delivered in digital format.

3D DESIGN

3D prototypes are a very helpful tool to visualise new designs and style lines and make sure they look good on the body before making the actual garment. It’s also a great way to play with different colours, fabrics and prints!

Sewing pattern instructions

Let’s be real: if you’re a PDF pattern designer, once you have your new creation tried and tested and ready to launch, the last thing you want to spend time on is formatting the instructions and making all the illustrations. Luckily, that just happens to be one of my favourite tasks!

What they say…

«Sofia went above and beyond what I expected. I am a first time business owner with little fashion experience and she guided me throughout the whole technical drawing and tech pack process. She not only helped me with creating amazing tech packs that were professional and completed on time, but she also answered all of my questions thoroughly from fabrics, factories to deciding on the styles for my sustainable undergarment company. She understood the vision of what I wanted for my brand and made it come to life. Besides her expertise in the field of fashion and making incredible tech packs, Sofia is kind, patient and detailed oriented.»

«Really lovely to work with Sofia. She’s very patient, attentive and skilled. «Sofia is hands down the best freelance designer I’ve ever worked with. Not only did she deliver work above the standard I was looking for, she obviously has a great eye for design and fashion and is very knowledgeable on technical details. Sofia was quick, helpful, and had excellent communication – she would constantly update me on where she was at with the project, without me asking. I honestly would give more than 5 stars if I could – anyone is lucky to work with her.»
