Un patrón, en el ámbito del corte y confección, es una plantilla realizada en papel para ser copiada en el tejido y fabricar una prenda de vestir, cortando, armando y cosiendo las distintas piezas. Se llama «patronaje» a la actividad de diseñar y adaptar patrones. «Patronista» es el profesional que se dedica al patronaje.

In sewing and fashion design, a pattern is the template from which the parts of a garment are traced onto fabric before being cut out and assembled.
