Tailornova review
A broad browser-based toolkit for designing, fitting, grading, and documenting garments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tailornova is a browser-based fashion design application for hobbyist sewers, students, indie designers, tailors, boutiques, apparel brands, and manufacturers. Its workflow combines intermixable design templates, made-to-measure pattern generation, 2D vector technical flats, 3D FitModel customization, fabric tools, grading, sewing instructions, and tech pack generation. That breadth makes it a practical fit for small brands that want design and production documentation in one web-based environment rather than a narrowly focused pattern tool.
The published plans show a free plan alongside four paid tiers. Personal costs $29 per month for personal use, unlimited 2D design templates, and monthly allowances for technical flats, made-to-measure patterns, PDF downloads, and custom fabric uploads. Commercial costs $49 per month and adds a commercial and reseller license, unlimited technical flat and pattern downloads, expanded export formats, graded size runs, and 3D preview and grading. Commercial Pro costs $79 per month and adds PatternFast AI professional design software, standard-size fit charts, automated grading, unlimited custom FitModels, single-size marker layout, and unlimited tech packs with all size runs. Enterprise uses custom pricing and custom solutions.
Tailornova’s ecosystem fit is useful for teams moving designs into established illustration or production workflows: integrations include Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and CAD systems. Its export support covers PDF, PLT, DXF, and DXF-AAMA pattern files, while fabric libraries and custom uploads support textile-oriented work. The main boundary is platform scope: access is through a browser, and some 3D functionality is described as coming soon. Small apparel brands, independent designers, and makers should consider it when they need an accessible end-to-end workflow with commercial licensing. Teams requiring a fully desktop-native environment or fully available 3D capabilities should assess alternatives.
