At & Other Stories, you’ll help create well-crafted womenswear pieces that blend creativity, fit and modern design. Working closely with talented designers and developers, you’ll influence silhouettes across our full assortment — and be part of a warm, supportive team where collaboration and curiosity drive everything we do.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Create, adjust and refine patterns across all womenswear product categories using tools such as Lectra Modaris and CLO 3D, ensuring high-quality fit and construction.

• Participate in weekly fit sessions and implement fit corrections to secure silhouette, balance and consistency.

• Evaluate incoming samples and secure garment fit while following up on return insights and selling performance.

• Collaborate with Product Developers, Buyers and other cross-functional partners to ensure feasibility through development and production.

• Contribute to assortment development by supporting well-balanced silhouettes across collections.

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH

You will collaborate daily with Designers, Product Developers and the broader Assortment Team. You’ll be part of a team of six Pattern Makers who support one another across categories, share knowledge and work closely to secure fit and craftsmanship.

You will also interact with external suppliers and internal creative partners to ensure patterns are executed with accuracy and precision.

And who are:

• Creative, curious, and interested in developing new silhouettes and fits.
