Whether you are someone who loves to play with clothing or you have aspirations toward fashion design, you will find that one of the most interesting tools that you can pick up is Virtual Fashion. Virtual Fashion has come out in a few different versions, including a basic version that is either no longer available or simply difficult to find, and a professional version that is often lauded as a great toy for anyone who loves to dress up.

What Is It?

At the most basic level, Virtual Fashion allows you to create three-dimensional garments on three-dimensional models. You will create garments using a number of different fabric templates and clothing options, and you will get to experiment with color. The draping stimulation allows you to figure out what needs to happen to make sure that a garment hangs in a certain way, and the result is an invaluable tool for anyone who loves the chance to create clothing.

The Model

With Virtual Fashion Professional, you have the ability to change what the model looks like. The model may be whatever race and height you like, and though there are some sliders for the width, there is a disappointing lack of ability to add weight to your model. The ability to design clothes for all body types is something that this simulation lacks, and if you want to expand your ability to do so, this may not be the program that you want.

What You Get

When you download the trial version, you will receive the chance to use a limited version of the program for ten hours. It has been noted that the program is quite large, and that it can be something of a hefty download. For systems that are already running a little hot, the program itself can also be something of a resource hog, so plan accordingly.

After the trial period is over, you will be prompted to pay for the program if you wish to continue using it. Depending on where you get the program from, the price is roughly around three hundred dollars, though it can be more or less expensive.

Essentially, this program is designed to allow you to create outfits and then to try them on models. Though the traditional method for this task is to get fabric and models and to test them out, the truth is that the computer program allows you to whip things together much more quickly and much less expensively.

Who Is This Program For?

This program straddles the fine line between a tool for amateurs and a tool for professionals. The best advice that can be given regarding this program's function is to try out the 10-hour demo to find out how well it suits you. This is something that every designer has to decide alone, and the rewards can be immense!
