Abstract: This study developed a system that automatically created individually customized patterns by combining the two
methods of “automatic drafting by pattern formulae” and “grading”. The system reads four kinds of information: body
measurements; basic size pattern; grading values of the pattern’s points; and an alteration rule. Using the files, the system
automatically generated a grading pattern first, and then modified it according to the alteration rule to make individually
customized patterns. The clothing produced from the customized pattern fit the subject better than the clothing produced from
the grading method.
