Summary/Abstract: Fashion trends vary year by year and from a season to another. These trends are expressed by different combinations of materials, colours, lines, styles, and finally, all of these lead to new models of garments. Designers must understand and transpose all this information into useful, unique and desirable models of clothes for all consumers. They must also have a good intuition and perception of the lines and shadows (2D/3D geometry for fashion), as well as skills and competencies in patterning and knowledge in technology. By understanding and processing all the data, the designers have to elaborate the proper solution for sizing and shaping the new patterns, by taking into consideration the shape of the human body and the properties of the materials from the structure of the garment. Nowadays, they often have to use advanced construction techniques in developing ready-to-wear products by using tools and functions from two CAD systems. The virtual environments allow the user to define a garment surface in relation with the 3D body model and to verify the dimensional correspondence and balance of the product on the human body. The designer also checks if the virtual prototype looks the same as its picture representation and if there is something to be changed. This paper presents comparative e- demonstrations of how to select and use functions and tools from two CAD systems in order to design a specific model of a garment, in a proper and logical sequence of steps, with a good quality level from the designing stage.
