What are fashion illustrations used for?
Fashion illustrations are essentially the blueprint for the designs. A designer illustrates their idea, which is then communicated to a pattern-maker and seamstress, who turn the drawings into a wearable piece. You’ll find a large collection of fashion illustrations from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
