NAME
Valentina - Pattern making program.

SYNOPSIS
valentina [options] file

DESCRIPTION
Valentina is a cross-platform patternmaking program which allows designers to create and model patterns of clothing. This software allows pattern creation, using either multisize sizing tables or an individual’s set of measurements. It blends new technologies with traditional methods to create a unique pattern making tool.
