About the job

Pattern Maker

Alyssa Kristin is seeking a Pattern Maker (Bridal/Luxury Evening Wear) to join our development team and help bring new designs from concept to creation. This individual will be responsible for drafting, refining, and correcting patterns throughout the development and pre-production process — ensuring every piece reflects the precision and craftsmanship the brand is known for.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly skilled in draping and pattern construction, and brings 3–5 years of experience in bridal, couture, or luxury womenswear. This role can be based in Chicago or New Yor k, and we’re open to full-time, part-time, or freelance arrangements depending on experience and availability.

Responsibilities:

• Translate design sketches into accurate, production-ready patterns, leveraging expertise in draping and garment construction
• Attend fittings to support design revisions, updating patterns and measurements as needed
• Modify patterns for made-to-measure and custom orders
• Create mock-ups or toiles during development to test fit, structure, and design details
• Provide technical, pattern-specific support to the broader development and production teams
• Collaborate closely with designers and technical teams to maintain fit accuracy and design integrity across collections

The skills and experience expected to deliver in this role include:

• Strong understanding of patternmaking, fit adjustments, and garment construction
• Strong corsetry and/or draping skills - experience creating structured interiors, molded bodices, or sculptural silhouettes is a major plus
• Associate degree in Patternmaking, Technical Design, or equivalent professional experience
• 3–5 years of experience in bridal, couture, or luxury womenswear patternmaking
• Deep knowledge of luxury and bridal fabrics, including how grainlines and fabric behavior affect structure and drape
• Proficiency with Optitex or Gerber
• Exceptional attention to detail and precision
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Alyssa Kristin is a modern bridal house rooted in elevated minimalism, intentional design, and sculptural simplicity. Proudly designed and produced in the USA, we are expanding our flagship presence, debuting a new luxury line, and growing globally — and we’re looking for a Pattern Maker to help us shape our next collections.
