How much does a clothing pattern cost?
The price of a pattern depends on how the garment is constructed and on the number of sizes. Here are real amounts, worked out with our price grid — graded pattern, render and tech pack included.
Example prices, all included
| Category | 1 size | 3 sizes | 5 sizes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | t-shirt, tank top, shorts | €70 | €110 | €150 |
| Standard | hoodie, sweatshirt, trousers, skirt | €120 | €160 | €200 |
| Complex | jacket, coat, structured dress | €250 | €290 | €330 |
| Technical | lingerie, corsetry, activewear, pleats | €350 | €390 | €430 |
Minimum prices for each category. Above them, you set your price freely — a higher price attracts an experienced pattern maker faster.

- Construction — a t-shirt has a handful of pieces; a lined jacket has dozens, with interfacings and facings. That's what separates the categories.
- Number of sizes — each size graded beyond the base size adds €20: grading is real work, not an option.
- How precise the brief is — clear front and back views, a measurement chart and the intended fabric avoid back-and-forth — and revisions.
- Materials — a stretch jersey, a knit or a technical fabric need different ease and construction from a woven fabric.
- What's included — elsewhere, the tech pack and revisions are often charged extra. Here they're in the price, along with the assembly guarantee.
