About
Kamila Nurzhanova
I turn design ideas into production-ready garments through precise pattern drafting, grading, and fit refinement. My focus is on technical excellence, clean construction, and silhouettes that move with the body while maintaining structure.

I’m Kamila, an apparel technician and fashion school graduate with a strong focus on pattern drafting, grading, and fit analysis.

I specialize in:
  • Developing base patterns and size ranges
  • Analyzing and correcting fit across multiple sizes
  • Translating creative concepts into clear, technical solutions for production

Whether it’s an evening gown, a tailored jacket, or a capsule collection, I bridge the gap between design vision and technical reality.

Facts
Pattern Drafting & Development
Creating patterns from sketches, specs, or reference garments using both traditional methods and CAD systems.
Grading
Grading base size blocks into extended size ranges while maintaining proportion, balance, and comfort across all sizes.
Fit Analysis
& Correction
Conducting fittings, identifying problem areas, and refining patterns to achieve a clean, consistent fit.
Technical Design Support
Preparing pattern files, basic technical illustrations, and construction details for sampling and production.

Our projects
Traditional Pattern Making
  • Started from a fashion sketch with highlighted style details.
  • Drafted patterns manually using traditional methods.
  • Built a construction mock-up of closures to achieve a clean, professional finish.
  • Conducted first and second fittings, fine-tuning the pattern until the final result matched the design and fit expectations.
Tailored Jacket
Developed a jacket with:
  • Heavy fused structured tailoring
  • Flared silhouette with faced double vents
  • Front and back yokes with style lines
  • Crescent seam sleeves with controlled fullness
Evening gowns PAD system
  • Interpreted fashion sketches and key design elements into workable patterns.
  • Drafted and adjusted patterns in the PAD system.
  • Created markers for fabric efficiency, optimizing fabric usage and layout.
  • Developed technical illustrations to support construction.
  • Conducted draping and fittings, refining the design through to the final gown.
