About The Course


Are you struggling to understand what Clo3D is and how it can support the development of intimate apparel?


This course has everything you need to kickstart your 3D intimate apparel design journey, all in one place. We focus on the specific tools and techniques required to create garments in this niche so you can dive into the act of creating quickly—because that's where the real learning happens.


When I first started, I felt lost and overwhelmed by the sheer number of tutorials available—free or paid. While many covered the basics of the program, none focused on the specifics of intimate apparel design. I spent countless hours googling and watching irrelevant tutorials, which slowed my progress. This is the course I wish I had when I was starting out with Clo3D!


Save yourself time by leveraging the tools and techniques taught here, tailored specifically for intimate apparel design. While a basic knowledge of garment construction is helpful, it’s not required.


I’ve included all the assets you need to replicate the demo bralette and brief shown above. Plus, as a bonus, you’ll get a video where I redesign the demo garment into a brand-new style! By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to apply this knowledge to your own creations.


This beginner-level course does not cover underwires. Instead, it focuses on understanding and applying the essential tools to build a strong foundation of knowledge that you can expand on.

Avatar Development

About Me


Hi, I’m Trudy! I’m a freelance intimate apparel designer, creator of the Underdressed podcast, founder of Wayfinder Lingerie Online Academy and retired military pilot. When I first discovered Clo3D, a software specifically made for patternmaking and 3D garment design development, I was blown away! I was able to create professional patterns and test them as 3D prototypes based on custom avatar sizes. The amount of resources I could save including paper, fabric and time, was well worth time and money I spent learning the software. As a person with diverse interests, a spirit for adventure and always motivated by curiosity and creativity, I enjoy trailblazing and continuously pushing the limits of what is possible! I would love to invite you along on the journey with me!
