Thanks for filling in the blanks - I wasn't aware of Burda's origins.<BR/><BR/>Kathleen - Thanks for the comment. Your Fashion Incubator site looks very useful and comprehensive for folks in the trade. I already recognize one tailor's name who posted recently in your forum.

Unfortunately, we can't seem to agree on verbiage either (I wrote two entries on the disparities which were very popular).

Of course, industry blocks and patterns have long existed for RTW. However, for bespoke tailoring, each tailor uses a different language and markings for pattern making and cutting. <BR/><BR/>Why is this a problem?

Its a version of Cad/cam isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Second: If your imagining a make the pattern here, make the clothes there scenario, that too pretty well exists.Toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320342028348619490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10106099.post-39049468551578891662008-10-26T14:43:00.000-04:002008-10-26T14:43:00.000-04:00Nice point of view.

I'm a college/highschool-educator, tailor (not 'active') and - frontend - webdeveloper in The Netherlands.<BR/>What do you mean by 'standardized language of pattern cutting'.
