About
Tailornova is a patent-pending online 3D fashion design software built for everyone from DIY sewers to professional apparel manufacturers. At its core is the 3D FitModel™ — a fully customizable virtual mannequin that mirrors any body shape, height, and measurements — enabling the automatic generation of made-to-measure (MTM) sewing patterns in as little as 3 seconds. Designers can browse and apply smart fashion design templates to rapidly prototype complete collections, previewing flat sketches, 3D garment samples, and downloadable patterns all within a single workflow. Patterns are print-ready for home printing, wide-format plotters, laser cutters, or import into CAD software, supporting both traditional sewing and modern automated manufacturing pipelines. For businesses, Tailornova offers a StyleCustomizer™ app that can be embedded directly into an existing e-commerce website, allowing customers to submit measurements and receive automated bespoke patterns and cut sheets — enabling scalable on-demand manufacturing without manual pattern drafting. With over 210,000 pattern users and 40+ billion design possibilities, the platform is suited for indie designers, clothing boutiques, fashion students, dressmakers, specialty manufacturers, and pattern retailers. Its subscription model at $49/month makes professional-grade pattern automation accessible without expensive CAD software.
