• Grade patterns across the required size range and maintain proper specifications.
• Review garments and samples for construction, proportion, balance, and fit.
• Troubleshoot technical issues and recommend pattern or construction solutions.
• Maintain organized pattern files, specifications, and revisions throughout the development process.
• Communicate clearly with sample makers, factories, and other members of the technical/product development team.
• Help ensure garments meet Alexis standards for fit, quality, construction, and overall aesthetic.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of professional pattern-making experience in women’s apparel, preferably within contemporary, luxury, or premium fashion.
• Strong understanding of garment construction, fit, grading, and production techniques.
• Experience working with a range of woven and knit fabrics.
• Strong knowledge of fashion industry standards, pattern terminology, and technical specifications.
• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a creative product development team.
• Ability to manage multiple styles and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and organizational skills.

Why This Role Matters

The Pattern Maker plays a critical role in bringing the Alexis vision to life. From the initial design concept through final production, you will help define how a garment looks, fits, and functions—turning creative ideas into beautifully constructed pieces that reflect the brand’s signature aesthetic.

Your technical expertise and attention to detail will directly influence the quality, consistency, and fit of every collection. Working closely with our design and product development teams, you’ll be an essential partner in solving technical challenges, refining silhouettes, and ensuring each style meets the high standards our customers expect from Alexis.
