Why is The Body Beautiful Melbourne’s leading industry freelance pattern making and pattern grading service?

• Decades of experience. When you’re just starting out in fashion, advice from someone who’s been in the industry for three decades is invaluable, and that’s exactly what I have to offer.

• Ongoing support. You might think that as a pattern maker and pattern grader, business management is outside my realm of experience. This is not the case. I have plenty of guidance to offer new designers, including advice on hidden costs and expenses, brand management, tips on how to navigate Australia’s dynamic fashion industry and, of course, assistance creating the perfect end product.

• Industry Connections. I have worked closely with people from all areas of production and have accumulated a long list of industry contacts who are at the top of their fields. Should you decide to purchase the comprehensive ‘Industry Directory’ file, it will provide you with everything you’ll need in order to connect with the most experienced people in the industry. Contacts include, but not limited to, specialists in fabric wholesale, trims and accessories, labels, printing, dying, sample machinists and manufacturers.

• Assistance with production. I’m more than happy to share my practice and knowledge to assist you in navigating and managing the manufacturing process. Understandably, this is a daunting step, but please know, you are not on your own.

• No costly courses. I provide valuable mentorship in Melbourne’s fashion scene so you can save a lot of expense over unnecessary courses. I have a genuine passion for watching new designers thrive and succeed, and I can’t wait to show you the ropes.
