Best Apps for Clothes Design

Clothing design, what is called today fashion design, is a very attractive job that requires lots patience and imagination. Not to mention that a fashion designer needs to be well informed of all types of clothes and trends that are taking over the market, and what makes their job easier is the new software and apps that can be found on computers, phones and tablets. With that being said, let's talk about the best apps for clothing design that you can find out there. We're going start with the prototype, which is a sketching app that every fashion and clothing designer should consider, because they can do all their digital sketching using it, especially if they have ideas in a place where they don't have access to a sketchbook. You can draw inside the app either using a pen or your hands, and it works great in both ways.

Designing Clothes for a Specific Client

The designer can choose between male or female and get advice of different shapes to their sketches. He can end here with different styles, which helps a lot when designing clothes for a specific client or a specific group of people. Then you have all the different clothing options that you can have access to, which greatly speeds up the designing process. You can work with jackets, shirts underneath the jacket and then throw up some pants in there, which is really automatic, amazing, and straightforward to use. This will give you different layering options and styles. To mention that, the app is user friendly and doesn't require a lot of time to get used to it, you will have access to different pencils, markers, color pencils, and water brushes to help you achieve any type of design that you are aiming for. You can choose the color and you will have access to amazing templates of textures and patterns, and then you can paint the skin and all the different clothes that you can choose in the first place.

Pentown Studio App Review

I would say that this is definitely one of the best apps that exist out there, especially in clothing design, and you should probably give it a try. Our next app on the list is called Pentown Studio. This app is great for making your own color stories and boards. It helps you build and create different colors that you can later use in your clothing design. Colors are probably one of the most important things fashion designers have to master and know how to combine and work with perfectly. This app helps you adjust any type of color, pattern, or material and then integrate them directly into the final clothing design. In a way, Pentown Studio helps you create suitable guides for colors and fashion in a very artistic and helpful way, which will boost your inspiration and will give you more freedom and flexibility in clothing design.

Creating a color story with this app will also make things easier for fashion designers, because they can simply take their tablets and smartphones to the fabric store and get the colors they are aiming for directly, without having to spend a lot of time choosing between all the colors that they might find in the store. The app can also use your camera and extract colors directly from images or photos. Let's say, you are in some kind of restaurant and you saw a color included in its design and you liked a lot, and all you have to do is open the app, open the camera and take a picture, and it will extract the colors directly so you can use it in your designs. Pentown Studio gives you access to different types of fabrics of different shades and colors. Rezep will encode it, coated nylon, leather, metallic, you name it. These are all included in the app, so that fashion designers will have a deeper understanding of how different colors will work and fit with their choices of fabric.

Fashion Design App Review – Fashion Design Flat Sketch

So if you are into fashion design, this app can be great too. Now we have an app that might look different, but it is really interesting in this industry, and this app is going to be Sketchbook. It is an app that is used in every design related industry, but it is particularly helpful when it comes to clothing design. First of all, it'sgonna be wonderful for drawing your sketches and stocking your ideas, whether you are in a bus, on a train, or on a plane, and it can help you sketch your designs very quickly through all the different features and tools that it offers. And what's even more interesting is that you can upload your sketches that you have created on paper and finish them directly on the app. This will help you bring your designs or sketches to life very effectively, especially when knowing that Sketchbook is so easy to use. You can adjust your design smoothly and as many times as you want in order for you to reach the best version of your desired clothing design. So this is another app that can be highly recommended for everyone in the fashion world, even that it is free, first of all, and because it is friendly to use, with all its features and tools that make it accessible for everyone that has a mobile device.

The next one is Fashion Design Flat Sketch, which is a powerful free app that allows you to design female clothing very quickly from your phone or iPad, with access to a huge 1000+ plus graphics library for inspiration. This free app is made for illustrators, designers, designers, students and students who are passionate about fashion. On a side note, Flat sketching is also called Flat Drawing or Technical Flat. In the fashion industry, it is a drawing of a garment as if it were laid flat to show the details on a design, like seams and stitches. You can create blouses, skirts, dresses, and pants, and jackets, etc. And you can even customize your design by adding designs from the provided inventory. The app allows you to draw your own details with the pencil, which makes working with the app extremely easy. You can also easily finalize your designs with zippers, buttons, belts and pockets, and the app makes it really easy to share your designs as an image through different means, addition to the ability to print it or even add it to your tech packs.

Procreate – The Best App for Digital Artists

Next we have procreate. If you've ever done any kind of digital drawing or painting, this app will feel like home with its robust list of features. One of Procreate's most strong suits is that it is easy, intuitive and has a good interface, and what makes it even better is its brushes, because it has a library of more than 150 brushes between pens, pencils, and brushes, oil brushes, spray paints, and much more. Under each category of brushes, you can find a dozen or more of choices. You can customize them and create anything you want with any shape you want. Also, you have a variety of export options and canvas sizes. And the good thing is, all important tools and functions are close to you.

You can tell that the developers who made this app for digital artists spent lots of time to make it easy and efficient for artists, because all the repetitive tasks are easily accessible, such as color pickers, the resize brush, space control, brush shelf, and so on. And the interface automatically makes more space for you when painting. For fashion designers, Procreate allows you to import references and use a multi-layered workflow to build your garments, not to mention the stability and the overall smoothness of the app. Everything is smooth with noagging, and you can use multiple brushes and create a lot of patterns very easily. Additionally, Procreate supports timelapse recording, because the app can record each brush stroke you perform and play it back at anytime you want. Now the app might lack some functions–functions such as a robust basket system or vector shapes and so on–but it is definitely one of my favorite apps.

Fashion Design and Pattern Maker App Review

Now I'm jumping to another app called Fashion Design and Pattern Maker, which is a very descriptive name. As you can tell, it can be really useful for fashion design, and it can help you easily choose a unique style and design your dresses and garments by picking yourmann, fabric, and so on really quickly. Using the huge library of pieces the app offers, you can choose exactly the style, size, pattern, etc. You can also draw your design black model or take a photo of your fabrics or patterns and save it or share it by email to work on it later. The app also allows you to choose between style or pattern workflows.

How to Customize Your Model's Looks

The Style section allows you to customize your model's face, hair, body, color, etc. And you can easily customize the looks by selecting clothing articles such as skirt, pants, dress, tshirt, swimsuit, flamer, and so on. You can also customize your styles using sleeves, necklines, belts, and so much more. The app is available on Android, and it is actually less of a drawing app and more of a design maker, because you have a lot of presets and graphics that you canassemble to get the results you want, as well as, in addition to a table of measurements, to specify exactly your measurements. Also, you can attach pictures to your designs to make the process easier. If you are interested in these apps, you will find the necessary links in the description.
