Communications: An object‐oriented model of apparel pattern making

Apparel pattern making creates a set of pattern pieces of fabric which are sewn into the desired garment. The pattern pieces are developed through fashion analysis, pattern design and pattern drafting. Seeks to build an object‐oriented model of the apparel pattern‐making process through these subprocesses. Defines the model in terms of a requirements specification and subsequently uses it in the development of a computerized pattern‐making system. Uses object behaviour analysis, which is derived from object‐oriented technology, as the method for defining the model.
