US Patent:

20040006878, Jan 15, 2004

Filed:

Jul 15, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/195593

Inventors:

Carol Grove - Brooklyn NY, US

International Classification:

A41H003/00

US Classification:

033/01700R

Abstract:

A wearable garment pattern template configured to be worn by a person includes a plurality of detachably coupled sections each having a plurality of flexible segments which are coupled at pivot points. The adjustable segments include at least two strips which are longitudinally slidable relative to each other such that the segments are adjustable in length and can also be fixed in length. The segments define a framework of either triangles with sides of a particular length (as adjusted on the wearer), or quadrilaterals having sides of a set length (as adjusted on the wearer) and at least one fixed angle between two of the sides. In either instance, after adjustment, each triangle or quadrilateral can be only in one configuration, and is not subject to distortion due to rotation about pivot points. The garment pattern template can be used as a template to cut fabric for a garment.

Appl. No.:

13/474143

Inventors:

Carol S. Grove - Brooklyn NY, US

International Classification:

A41H 3/00

US Classification:

33 17 A

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for drafting garment patterns from body photographs and garment style drawings as well as for creating adjustable pattern style drawings and for drafting garment patterns from the pattern style drawings. The garment patterns are adjusted by measurements obtained from photographs and selected body part circumferences of the user for whom the garment pattern is intended. After obtaining the measurement the system preferably automatically make such adjustments. The system includes a content generation side which creates pattern styles of garments and provides such pattern styles to an online store. The system also includes a user-side through which a user generates a user body outline and interacts with the online store to access such pattern style drawings for use in association with the body outline to draft garment patterns that are fully customized to the user.

US Classification:

33 17 R

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for designing garments from software templates and a software toolkit, drafting garment patterns from body photographs and garment style drawings, and for creating adjustable pattern style drawings and for drafting garment patterns from the pattern style drawings. The garment patterns are adjusted by measurements from two-dimensional images and body part circumferences of a three-dimensional body. After obtaining the measurement the system preferably automatically makes such adjustments. The system includes a content generation side which creates pattern styles of garments. The system also includes a user-side through which a user generates a body outline and interacts with the previously generated content to draft garment patterns that are fully customized.
