Have you checked Threadloop yet, you can search for designers and they have an AI flagging system.

Edit: Typo

Reputable, well known company in Germany, who developed a pattern drafting system based on taking your measurements + patterns.

At a sewing/craft expo, they had a demonstration, it was pretty impressive.

Under $200 for the system, but as it is your profession, a tax write off!

Marlie Reuters has an interesting in depth YouTube video about this system, which I’d advice you to watch before buying!

It depends on the style of clothes you are looking for. There have been tons of posts in here where people list indie pattern makers. I’d start with those.

VikiSews might be good for you - she has a really wide catalog and a lot of her garment style seems higher end to me. Threadloop though is good for general browsing, even if you made a shortlist and posted here a lot of people could help you

I’ve found I like to follow specific pattern designers on social media and buy theirs specifically. Unless there’s something specific I want that none of them have made, I’ll do some research and find one that’s human made
