- Maintain Gerber files, markers, grading, and specification standards
- Work with luxury fabrics including silk, lace, tulle, corsetry, and structured bridal garments
- Help improve atelier systems and production workflows
Qualifications:
- 10+ years of Production Pattern Making experience
- Advanced expertise building production patterns in Gerber

- Experience with luxury bridal, eveningwear, or corsetry construction
- Couture-level understanding of garment construction and sewing techniques
