Valentina is a cross-platform patternmaking program which allows designers to create and model patterns of clothing. This software allows pattern creation, using either standard sizing tables or an individual’s set of measurements. It blends new technologies with traditional methods to create a unique pattern making tool.
Valentina's daughter application '''Tape''' allows you to create measurement files for yourself and other individuals. You can also create multisize (standard) tables.<br/>
