Photo to Fashion Flat in three steps
Photograph the garment
Lay the piece flat, or shoot your sample or reference garment straight on. Jackets, shirts, dresses, trousers, knitwear, anything you can photograph.
Set the measurements
Choose the drawing type and units, then enter the points of measure you care about, chest width, body length, sleeve length, so the callouts are true to your size spec.
Get the technical flat
Receive front and back flats in clean tech pack style, with topstitching, closures and construction detail drawn in and your measurements called out.
Fashion flats without the Illustrator grind
A technical flat is the working drawing of fashion: a flat, symmetrical, black-and-white view of the garment with every seam, stitch line and closure drawn in, plus the points of measure your factory grades from. Drawing them in Illustrator takes hours per style. TechDraw AI drafts the flat from a photo of the garment in minutes, in the standard style factories and tech packs expect.
Be clear about what this is and is not: you get flats and measurement callouts for a tech pack, not sewing patterns. Pattern making, seam allowances and grading stay with your pattern maker. What you save is the drafting time between a sample in your hands and a clean spec sheet your manufacturer can quote.
Designers and makers in 55+ countries draft their flats with AI.
“Tested every projection angle in 5 min. love it.”
“This replaced my drafting board, my templates, and half my CAD busywork. Not even exagerating.”
“I used to redraw everything by hand. Now I sketch on paper, photograph it, and get clean editable geometry back. Saved me hundredss of hours already.”
“On the free plan and its been enough for my prototyping. Already exported 3 drawings to DXF. Will upgrade when the project scales.”
“genuinely fun to use. The auto-dimensioning is addicting.”
“Does in seconds what took me hours in CAD. Clean lines, correct scale. No lerning curve at all.”
“used it for a tender submission and won the job. Big time saver.”
“pretty impressed honestly. Full orthographic set in under a minute and the dimensioning was spot on.”
Frequently asked questions
Can AI draw a fashion flat from a photo?+
Yes. Upload a photo of the garment laid flat and TechDraw AI draws a clean technical flat: front and back views in the standard tech pack style, with topstitching as dashed lines, buttons, pockets, seams and closures drawn in, and measurement callouts for the points of measure you set.
What is a fashion technical drawing?+
A technical flat is a flat, proportional, black-and-white drawing of a garment without a body, showing construction rather than fashion illustration. It is the drawing factories work from: every seam, stitch line and closure visible, plus the measurement spec. It is the fashion equivalent of an engineering drawing.
Is this a sewing pattern?+
No, and it is important to know the difference. A flat shows what the garment looks like and how it measures; a sewing pattern is the set of shaped pieces you cut fabric from, with seam allowances and grading. TechDraw AI produces flats and measurement callouts for tech packs, not patterns.
Can I use the flats in a tech pack?+
Yes, that is what they are for. Export the flat as PDF, SVG or PNG and drop it into your tech pack alongside your bill of materials and size chart. The measurement callouts use the values you entered, so the drawing and your size spec always agree.
Do I need Illustrator to make flats?+
No. Flats are traditionally drawn in Adobe Illustrator, which takes hours per style and real drawing skill. Here you photograph the garment, set the measurements and the AI drafts the flat. If you want to refine it afterwards, the SVG export opens in Illustrator as editable vectors.
What garments does it handle?+
Anything you can photograph flat and describe: jackets, shirts, tees, dresses, skirts, trousers, hoodies and knitwear. Complex construction like heavily draped pieces is harder to read from one photo, so shoot those as flat and square-on as you can.
