Start with structure. Build without limits.
Open+Pattern is an open library of garment patterns digitised directly from authentic vintage garments and built on original historical construction logic
These aren’t simplified modern costume templates or generic approximations. They are working technical pattern files extracted from real vintage garments—capturing true historical proportions, original seam placements, and authentic construction details
Use a pattern as it was originally engineered, adapt it to modern fits, or bring historical garment geometry into 3D digital clothing and AI workflows.
NOT JUST PATTERNS.
WORKING TOOLS.
OPEN PATTERN delivers garment blueprints you can actually use as a starting point or final solution.
Study the construction.
Understand the pattern.
Modify the files.
Build something new.
Prototype in 3D.
Sample at home.
Prepare for production.
FILE FORMATS
WORK IN THE FORMAT YOU NEED.
Our library includes production files for physical making, CAD, 3D garment development, digital clothing, and AI pipelines.
Print at home or send to a plotter.
DXF
Take the pattern into CAD and production workflows.
ZPRJ / CLO3D
Open the garment directly in your 3D workflow and develop the pattern digitally.
GLB
Take the garment into digital environments, visualisation and 3D workflows.
PNG
Use garment assets for visual reference, digital workflows and AI image generation.
File formats vary by pattern. Each pattern page explicitly lists included files.
SIZING
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOWNLOADING.
Every pattern tells you what size you are working with before you download it.
GRADED SIZES
Where multiple sizes are available, the full size range is clearly listed.
BASE SIZES
Where a pattern is supplied as a single base size, the size and measurements are clearly stated.
MEASUREMENTS & GRADING
Pattern pages show the available measurements and grading information.
Check each pattern for exact size and grading details.

WHAT’S IN THE PATTERN LIBRARY?
REAL GARMENTS. REAL STRUCTURE.
Every pattern starts with a garment worth studying.
GARMENT
A real garment pattern with construction logic behind it.
FILES
The available PDF, DXF, ZPRJ, GLB and PNG files are clearly listed for each pattern.
SIZING
Know the available sizes, measurements and grading before you download.
CONSTRUCTION
Explore how the garment is built, not just how it looks.
LICENCE
Open licensing lets you use, modify and build on the patterns.
WHO IT’S FOR
FOR PEOPLE WHO MAKE THINGS REAL:
DESIGNERS
Start with real pattern logic instead of a blank screen.
STUDENTS
Learn how garments are constructed by working with real patterns.
GAME / DIGITAL CLOTHING DESIGNERS
Take physical garment structures into digital environments.
MAKERS
Download, print, modify and make.
BRANDS
Use open pattern foundations to research, prototype and develop new products.
OPEN PHILOSOPHY
OPEN BY DESIGN.
Traditional pattern making hides structural knowledge.
We share the foundation so you can focus on on creation.
Use them.
Adapt them.
Treat them as a canvas.
Build without limits.
BUILT FOR PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL
A garment isn’t bound to one medium. It can be cut from paper, crafted in fabric, modeled in 3D, rendered in virtual environments, or used as a dataset for entirely new concepts.
Open+Pattern gives you the underlying structure to do all of that.
ONE PATTERN.
MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES.
WORK WITH US
OPEN+PATTERN IS OPEN SOURCE.
Our public library shares garment knowledge and tools freely. Beyond open access, our team collaborates directly with designers, brands, and studios on garment systems, 3D digital creation, and production-ready pattern suites.
