Precise patterns. Thoughtful garments.

Giselle Clothing Design is an independent apparel patternmaking studio based in Nanaimo, British Columbia, working with independent designers and small brands.

I translate client-provided designs into digital patterns, with a focus on getting the foundation right. Through 3D visualization, pattern development, and fit refinement, I help address proportions, balance, and construction early in the process, giving you a stronger starting point for sampling and production.

Who I work with:

  • Independent designers developing their own designs or collections

  • Small apparel brands refining fit and preparing patterns for production

  • Individuals seeking custom, made-to-measure garments
