Grading & Size Development

Grading is the systematic scaling of a base pattern into a coherent size series while maintaining correct proportions and fit integrity.

Rather than simply enlarging shapes, grading requires controlled horizontal and vertical adjustments based on structured grade rules.

This includes:

• Bust, waist and hip increments

• Back width and shoulder adjustments

• Length variations across sizes

• Armhole and sleeve coordination

• Balance verification across all graded layers

Each size is checked against the intended size chart to ensure consistency and scalability for production.

The result is a technically aligned size series ready for development and manufacturing.
