There are many clothing design software options available now, and I am in all honesty unfamiliar with many, as I prefer the paper and pencil route alongside draping, but here are some that I am familiar with that you could research further that will enable you to design in 2D/3D: Adobe Illustrator this is the main design software that I use for any digital fashion design and pattern making Adobe Photoshop while not a CAD program, I do use it for pulling color schemes from my visual research and creating digital prints Alvanon makers of dress forms, they also have a virtual form which is available on a subscription basis Clo 3D 3D design, but I havent used it as its not fully compatible with Apple Mac computers Gerber AccuMark professional level software (acquired by Lectra) Sketchbook works on the iPad, but Ive not tried it on other devices Tailornova quite new but looks more accessible Valentina pattern drafting software which is free Wild Ginger for design and pattern making, though appear to be more targeted for sewing enthusiasts If youd rather learn how to design on a dress form, you can start by taking my beginner friendly Drape & Contour for Beginners course
Satin is great for the bride who wants their wedding gown to have a sheen without glitter or sparkle accents
The kind of blue that holds its own after dark
