Patternmaking for underwear combines technical engineering with design, requiring precise calculations for stretch and negative ease to achieve a second-skin fit [1.1, 1.2, 1.3]. Key elements include strategic seam placement, complex 3D cup shaping for support, and integrating hardware, often utilizing CAD software to simulate fabric tension before physical prototyping [1.2, 1.3].
