A Cutting Master alternative built for Indian tailors

Fashion Dot Tailoring CAD is a widely used alternative in India. It drafts, grades and prints patterns for blouse, churidar, gents and uniform garments, with trained on-site support and demos for 11,000+ tailors.

For trained local support, a large model library, lifetime patterns and direct print to Fashion Dot printers, plotters and laser cutters - one connected workflow instead of software alone.

Fashion Dot provides on-site training and a free demo, so tailors moving from another cutting software get productive quickly. Models are preloaded and adjusted by measurement.

Yes. Patterns print full-scale to Fashion Dot pattern printers and plotters, or cut directly on a Fashion Dot laser cutting machine - software and hardware from one vendor.

Blouse, churidar, kurti, gents, uniform and kids models come preloaded. Your team adjusts them by measurement rather than drafting each one from a blank screen, which is close to how they already work.

No. The licence is perpetual - pay once and use it, with software updates included for life. Patterns you draft stay yours to reprint and re-grade for as long as you run the shop.

You book a free demo and watch one of your own garments drafted, graded and printed. Our team then installs and sets up the software, and trains your cutters on-site until they are comfortable. Because the models are preloaded, nobody starts from a blank screen.

There are branches in Coimbatore, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. That is what makes on-site installation, in-person training and service visits possible rather than theoretical.

Since 2003, with more than 11,000 tailors and boutiques using the software. India's first computerised gents-wear cutting software was ours, in 2012.

The Fashion Dot licence is one-time rather than a yearly subscription, and the figure depends on which garment modules you need and whether a pattern printer, plotter, projector or laser goes with it. Every package and its price is published on our tailoring CAD software price page, with EMI available on all of them.

Yes. Fashion Dot runs in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and English, and the on-site training is given in the same language. For a cutter who has drafted by hand for years, reading the screen in his own language is usually what decides whether the software gets used at all.

Your team does not start from a blank screen - blouse, churidar, kurti, gents, uniform and kids models come preloaded and are adjusted by measurement. If you have patterns drafted in another package, ask about them on the demo call: what transfers cleanly depends on the format that software exports.

Bring one garment you are cutting this week and ask each vendor to draft, grade and print it full size on paper while you watch. A pattern that exists only on a screen has not been proved. Then compare the total cost - software, machine, installation, training and any renewal - not the software line alone.

The install itself is one visit. What matters more is the week after it: the models are preloaded, so your cutters start by entering measurements and adjusting rather than drafting from a blank screen, and our team trains them on your own garments until they are comfortable. Because installation and later service come from the branch nearest you, the questions that come up in the first few weeks get answered the same day.
