Quote - This site (Modern sewing patterns) is a great resource of ideas and patterns for users of Marvelous Designer.

Great! ,

For historical patterns there is: http://www.tudorlinks.com/treasury/freepatterns/index.html

The (original) instructions are directed to the experienced seamstress of the time (gone are the days girls learned this at school) and they sometimes seem outright obfuscated to the modern user, but it gives nice material to experiment with. As said, the workflow is still under development.

The original flow: arrange patterns around the avatar, define the seams, and simulate, is fastest, but depends on how the simulation evolves. In later versions this was improved and one can 'pin' the pieces of fabric to the environment or to the avatar, let them drape, correct the size and orientaion, and gradually add the stitches. This process simulates the work of a tailor working on a mannequin.

There is a lot to be said about this, and in my opinion Marvelous Designer deserves a dedicated forum here at Rendo.
