Can I get a pattern and a tech pack for my tank tops from a photo?
Yes. The garment read and the pattern quote are free with no account; a professional pattern maker then cuts the DXF pattern from $29, and the tech pack is an add-on at $10.

JPEG, PNG or WebP. Any phone photo works.
Your photo is stored for 30 days, then deleted. It is used to make your image, and by the studio if you continue there. If you order a pattern from it, a copy is kept with your order.
On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.
Tech Pack for a tank top
A pattern turns your tank top into the pieces a factory cuts: a professional pattern maker drafts the DXF file, and the tech pack is an add-on.
Keep the measurements of a tank top you like at hand: chest or waist, length and sleeve bring the first fitting closer.
Most tank tops start from cotton jersey; polyester jersey is the less usual line on a bill of materials.
What you get
A DXF pattern file drafted by a professional pattern maker, priced by how complex the tank top is, with the tech pack, grading and marker as add-ons.
Step by step
- Show the tank top from the front and the back, as an image or a photo.
- Give the measurements you want, or a size chart you already use.
- Name the cloth, because the pattern allows for its stretch and shrinkage.
- Review the pattern and cut a first sample from it.
A common mistake
Ordering a pattern before the cloth is chosen: a pattern drafted for a rigid cloth will not fit in a stretch one.

Typical trade ranges, not one mill's figures: confirm them with your mill.
The tank top, in numbers
A tank top is a sleeveless knit top, finished at the neck and armholes with binding or rib. The width of the straps and the depth of the armhole decide its style.
- Key measurements
- Bust, armhole and length
- Pattern pieces
- about 2 to 4, usually the simple pattern tier ($29)
- Cloth needed
- about 0.6 to 1.0 m of 150 cm cloth
Typical figures for an adult size M. The pattern tier is set from the real piece count when you order.
