b) providing a software toolkit including a plurality of drafting tools, and a plurality of style drawing templates and associated pattern templates, each style drawing template being an adjustable line representation of at least a portion of a garment and having boundary lines defined by parameters, and each associated pattern template when positioned on fabric provides instructions for cutting and sewing the fabric to make a garment corresponding to the at least a portion of the garment in the style drawing template, and wherein modification of the style drawing template results in automatic and corresponding adjustment of the associated pattern template, the drafting tools include tools to virtually cut, glue, duplicate, and pleat portions of the style drawing template;

c) aligning a first one of the style drawing templates relative to a two-dimensional body image in software;

d) adjusting the shape of the style drawing template relative to the two-dimensional body image in software; and

e) saving the adjusted style drawing template and associated pattern template as a new style drawing template and its associated pattern template.

2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

adding the at least one of the adjusted style drawing template and its associated pattern template to an online retail store from which customers can access a plurality of different adjusted style drawing templates and their associated pattern templates.

3. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

cutting at least one of the adjusted style drawing template and associated pattern template in software.

4. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

joining at least two style drawing templates and associated pattern templates in software. 49

5. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

adding shirring to at least one of the adjusted style drawing template and associated pattern template in software.

6. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

adding pleats to at least one of the adjusted style drawing template and associated pattern template in software.

7. A method of drafting garment patterns for a three-dimensional body, comprising:

a) generating a three-dimensional computer model of a body in a computer;

b) projecting the three-dimensional computer model onto a two-dimensional workspace that comprises each of at least several views of a body outline of the computer model from different directions, the scaled images having scaled dimensions corresponding to a body and upon which measurements can be made;

c) acquiring access to a style drawing, the style drawing being a line representation of at least a portion of a garment and having boundary lines defined by parameters;

d) aligning the style drawing relative to the body outline in software;

e) adjusting the shape of the style drawing relative to the scaled images in software;

f) providing a pattern associated with the style drawing; and

g) automatically drafting a garment pattern corresponding at least in part on the adjustments to the shape of the style drawing, the pattern printed or printable on flexible sheet material and including indicia indicating the cuts required for making a garment that corresponds to the style drawing.

8. A method according to claim 8, wherein:

the several views include separately displayable front view, back view, left view, and right view, and

the style drawings include a front view, a back view, a left view, and a right view which are aligned relative to the respective view of the several views.

9. A method according to claim 8, further comprising:

taking circumferential measurements from a part of the three-dimensional computer model; generating a body part multiplier (BPM) for the body part, the BPM calculated as the circumferential measurement of the body part divided by a combination of a width of the body 50 part and a depth of the body part, the width and depth of the body part measured on the scaled images; and

using the body part multiplier, calculating a pattern circumference relative to a measured width and depth at a selected level along the style drawing.

10. A method according to claim 9, wherein:

body part multipliers are separately generated for each of a neck, a bust, a waist, a hip, a thigh, and a bicep of the computer model.

11. A method according to claim 7, wherein:

said aligning includes automatically aligning the style drawing in correct location over the body outline.

12. A method of drafting garment patterns for a three-dimensional body, comprising:

a) obtaining scaled two-dimensional images of the body, the scaled images having scaled dimensions corresponding to a body and upon which measurements can be made;

b) positioning the scaled images on a two-dimensional workspace, the workspace provided with vertical levels marked thereon, the vertical levels intersecting the scaled images at nodes; c) acquiring access to a master garment template, the master garment template including points that are referenced relative to the nodes of the scaled images on the two-dimensional workspace and having a corresponding master pattern template with instructions to define a garment pattern corresponding to the master garment template;

d) manipulating the master garment template on the two-dimensional workspace to result in modifications to the corresponding master pattern template, the manipulating includes one or more of virtually cutting, gluing, duplicating, and pleating portions of the master garment template; and

e) saving the modified master garment template as a new garment template.

13. A method according to claim 12, wherein:

wherein the three-dimensional body is a virtual body image, and

after creating modification to the master garment template, generating a virtual garment from one of the modified garment template and the master pattern template and virtually positioning the garment on the virtual body image.

14. A method according to claim 12, wherein:

the vertical levels in the workspace include upper levels and lower levels,

the upper levels include levels for each of a top of a head, a mid-head, a shoulder, a mid-arm hole, an armhole, a bust point, an under bust, a waist, a front neck and a back neck, the lower levels include levels for each of the waist, a high hip, a hip, a crotch, an upper thigh, a mid-thigh, a knee, a calf, an ankle and a floor.

15. A software toolkit, comprising:

a) a plurality of adjustable master garment templates, each for a different garment and represented as a two-dimensional line drawing element;

b) a plurality of adjustable master pattern templates including the instructions to define a garment pattern, wherein adjustment to the master garment template results in consequent and automatic adjustment to the associated master pattern template; and

c) a set of computer drafting tools for adjusting the garment templates, the drafting tools include tools to all of virtually cut, glue, duplicate, and pleat portions of each master garment template.
