MGS (Marker Generation System) was the strategist. It played the cruelest game of Tetris known to man. It took the pattern pieces graded by the PGS and arranged them on a virtual layout to waste as little fabric as possible.
But today was a MTM (Made-to-Measure) day. This was the machine’s party piece.
In the 90s and early 2000s, the Investronica systems were pioneers in MTM. A client would walk into a boutique in Milan or New York. Their measurements—chest, waist, inseam, neck—would be punched into a terminal. That data would be fed directly into the V11R2 system. The Italian version of V11R2 MGS has a
