Computer-aided clothing design. Clothing designer using a computer-aided design (CAD) system. In the foreground is a dress. The designer is creating a garment whose pattern has been scanned into the computer. The pattern could be any kind of design, artwork or image and will be printed on the garment as an integrated whole using an ink-jet printer. With CAD, different designs of clothing can be examined prior to production. Photographed at Coats Viyella Textile Company, UK.
