The grading method that finally makes it all click

I’m Victoria and this course, Size-Inclusive Pattern Grading, is my life’s work.

I learned to grade patterns while in fashion school in Italy, but my knowledge had limitations. I was told that I could only grade up a few sizes, that beyond that, the grade simply wouldn't work.

I set out to create an inclusive grading method that worked. From day one, my goal was to remove the borders, so that anybody, of any size, could find themselves represented in one single size chart.

Because people of all sizes deserve to wear clothes that look beautiful, fit well, and express who they are.

Fast forward to today, I have created this stand-alone grading course that distills all of my experience from helping students of my Confident Patternmaking & Grading course (CPMG) to grade literally hundreds of patterns of every style imaginable, all for inclusive size ranges.

My method is clear, structured, and proven: specifically designed for independent designers and freelancers who want to bring their designs to life in every size.

Inside the Course, You’ll Learn How To

Use Adobe Illustrator for patternmaking (no prior experience necessary!)

 Digitize your paper patterns for precision and efficient grading

Develop a size chart for your brand (or work with an existing one)

Create grade plans for any pattern, any size chart, and any grade interval that work beautifully across a wide, inclusive size range

Apply grade rules that translate seamlessly into CAD software like CLO3D, Optitex, Gerber, Lectra Modaris, etc.

Customize and refine your grade rules for your unique designs

Grade multiple cup sizes and adapt designs for real bodies

Handle special details like gathers, stretch fabrics, and pockets

Format your files for nesting, legibility, printing, and projector use

By the End of This Course, You’ll Experience…

A deep sense of clarity. That “click” moment where everything about grading finally makes sense.

You’ll understand not just how to grade, but why patterns behave the way they do as they grow.

You’ll be able to:

Confidently grade any pattern, from any base size, across a full, inclusive range, blowing past the “three-size limit” that so many grading methods warn you to not go beyond

See your patterns expand beautifully and proportionally and know how to adjust them for real bodies, not theoretical ones.

Solve fit and proportion challenges creatively, using design thinking instead of rigid formulas.

Approach every new pattern with trust in your own eye and logic, knowing how to troubleshoot and refine your work like a true professional.

Feel the satisfaction of seeing your graded pattern fit beautifully at every size, sometimes even perfectly, straight out of the grade rule.

And maybe most importantly:

You’ll feel the confidence that comes from finally understanding pattern grading on a deep, intuitive level, so that when you sit down to design and grade, there’s no hesitation, no second-guessing… 

just clarity, flow, and a clear process that feels intuitive.

A method that maintains the integrity of the pattern at every size and strengthens your eye, your logic, and your creative confidence every time you use it.
