I've bought several kits from Anastasia to use with my evening class home dressmaker students, some of whom are very skilled dressmakers - which will also give me a chance to practice!

Ill fitting clothes be gone - designers, pattern drafters and graders let's get back to creating garments with a real understanding of the body beneath. Our customers will love us for it!

...A wonderfully succinct introduction to possibly the best defined and created methodology for making garments ever produced. Telestia's exacting standards, clear to see but easily and intuitively adopted, stem from the originator, Anastasia's own lifelong dedication to creating a 'teaching-based' methodology for pattern design and combines the collective knowledge of numerous global industry specialists (including her own mother's couture skills!) Telestia feels like a long overdue wake-up call to the fashion industry, once experienced, never forgotten. It comprises a set of tools, based on a far superior methodology that can redress the slavish perpetuation of ill-fitting, inferior garment production from inadequate blocks, based on an approximation to designs that bear little relation to them - or worse still the individual, whose actual measurements are never fully taken into account within the creation of the block in the first place. Elementary, fundamental and yet revolutionary in its far-reaching benefits.

Telestia, for all its exquisitely intelligent applied thinking to the pattern making process, is non-elitist and remarkably easy to adopt. Using it demonstrated process step by process step, how even the most experienced pattern cutters can benefit from seeing 'professional work-arounds' rendered unnecessary and ultimately inadequate by a methodology that can be tracked back, every single time, to show precisely why and how the best results can be achieved without exception. Telestia is so cleverly thought through that it can teach the complete beginner professional standards from the very first use of the genius-engineered template tools without them feeling daunted or inadequately prepared. In fact, they have only good habits to learn by starting with Telestia - not old ones to unlearn!

In order to communicate effectively it helps to speak the same language. Telestia provides for the Fashion Industry a coherent, accurate, proven pattern making and design methodology, which allows an articulate dialogue between the designer and the pattern cutter. Telestia is the result of a century of research and development into perfect fit and balance and is available in many mediums, including books, CAD, online courses and taught courses.

When the results of the Telestia way begin to be recognised by industry, academia and the consumer, 'The Revolution' will happen without effort. It was an absolute honour and a privilege to be part of this. I've met incredible people, made solid friendships and learned more in 5 days than I have in 5 years of education and 20 years of practice.

Hallo L.,

Thank you so much you have really been a good help and teacher to me. Yes I`ll send the fashion Design in the next days. I`m alittle bit busy working on my new collection because I want to start a online Boutique with my own collections, and the page is almost finish. Like I told you from the begnning of my courses, if there are people who still have doubt this online school, I´ll prove them wrong, coz it has been a help for me to top up on my own talent. I´ll give you my page the moment I make it official.

Ich komme sehr gut mit dem Programm zurecht - ich habe jedoch auch eine ganz tolle Tutorin. Wenn man mit dem Programm arbeitet, merkt man, dass man eigentlich noch viel mehr konstruieren mochte, als im Programm gezeigt.

Pattern Construction and Fashion Design she was a trial user and came back and did both.

The format and content of your course is incredible. I haven't made it too far yet, but from what I have seen so far it looks like you guys have done an amazing job at breaking it all down into understandable steps while at the same time allowing the student to see how it will all come together. I took a course at a community college on pattern drafting and am finding your course to make much more sense to me and I feel confident that when I am finished I will actually have the skills to draft patterns. I have to admit I was a little hesitant about learning such a skill using a e-format, but you guys must have really put A LOT of thought and work into producing these courses. I am looking forward to going through the rest of the modules. And I will be enrolling in some more of your courses in the future. I am so excited that I found your website. Thank you.

I really enjoyed the course - Fashion Design - Technical drawing. I had no previous art experience and was never able to successfully draw the human body, yet alone clothing. The course gave me step-by-step instructions and a very sound methodology to not only learn to draw, but be able to do so with ever increasing accuracy. I also found my tutor to be helpful with questions not only about the course, but also helped me with a small IT problem I had with my computer.

The course was excellent. My computer is weak and so I will wait before doing another course. But I would like very much to do another course eventually.

Das Prinzip ihrer Schule ist mir auch schon positiv aufgefallen.

Und die Auswahl gefällt mir sehr gut. Sie sehen ja, daß meine Fantasie schon angeregt worden ist. Auch Ihre Begleitung als mein Tutor ist super hoffentlich mach ich Ihnen nicht zu viel Arbeit.
