I have been searching the web for fashion design software. I found Corel has collaborated with a French company and made C-Design. I called their NY office and requested a catalogue and pricelist. Needless to say I didn't receive it and the NY office phone was disconnected.
If anyone knows of some fashion design software that can match C-Designs ability please post it.

Many thanks

I have never heard of the software before. Tell us what features fashion design has and maybe someone will know of some alternatives.

Corel DRAW or Adobe Illustrator will do everything you need. C-Design looks like a bunch of overpriced templates. Save money and buy a book that shows how too use these programs for fashion design. I have taken fashion courses and I knew how to use the Adobe products better than some instructors. Now I'm trying to learn DRAW and Xara.

P.S.
If intense photo manipulation is required you will probably need Photoshop to use with Illustrator since it does not include a photo editor, like DRAW includes PHOTO-PAINT.

I would like a program that has templates premade, this would save me alot of time and I can focus on the designing of my products.

If anyone knows of a software that can do these things or even a portion specifically the various apparel template and digital modeling of the apparel I would be very grateful.

DFP looks like a decent program. Thanks for the suggestion. I guess $400 wouldn't be a bad investment into templates and the presentation ability. thanks again
