About IDES
IDES Studio was founded by Isabel, a former CLO employee with a decade of experience as technical designer in the fahion industry. IDES offers a range of garment blocks as both 3D garments and PDF patterns. They come in complete male and female size ranges to help you maintain proper fit and balance. The CLO files are by size and include custom avatars. The PDFs include all sizes with easily editable Illustrator files, in addition to A4, Letter, A0 and Projector files. These blocks can be used professionally.
My free tutorials break down pattern making techniques and CLO 3D, in clear and digestible videos. CLO Pattern Pro is the first comprehensive CLO course from IDES, with a focus on pattern making and fit. Perfect for sewing pattern designers or industry freelancers who care about fit and pattern accuracy. Check it out below!
IDES Garment Blocks are fit tested for physical production and include ease. They provide an accurate starting point for any design, regardless of your pattern making skill level. Available as printable .PDF nested patterns or CLO Project files with matching avatars, all blocks are available in full Male and Female size ranges.
IDES garment blocks are now available in full size runs, with new styles being added. Choose from CLO project files or PDF patterns. Styles include male and female tops, trousers, outerwear and jeans, with more denim blocks coming in 2026. IDES blocks are fit tested for physical production and include ease. They are suitable for editing by beginner pattern makers in CLO, Adobe Illustrator or by hand.
