Bring your fashion design ideas to life, from the first sketch to the finished collection. Prêt-à-Template is a professional fashion design app created for fashion sketching, fashion illustration, outfit design, and product development. Built for students, creatives, stylists, and professional designers, it transforms inspiration into polished fashion concepts with tools designed specifically for the real fashion workflow. Whether you are learning fashion drawing, building a fashion portfolio, developing a collection, or exploring new styling ideas, Prêt-à-Template offers a complete workspace for modern fashion design. Unlike generic drawing apps, it is built specifically for the needs of the fashion industry, combining fashion sketch tools, realistic templates, visual research, and presentation workflows in one place. It supports both creative exploration and technical development, helping designers move from early concepts to more resolved and presentation-ready ideas with greater speed and confidence. The app lets you begin creating in two distinct ways, depending on your design style. You can work with linework templates that include front, side, and back guides, making them ideal for structured fashion sketches, technical development, and clean fashion illustration. Or you can start with realistic product templates, working directly over lifelike silhouettes with depth and volume, which is perfect for outfit design, product visualization, and concept development. Puzzle Look makes the creative process even faster and more intuitive. Simply describe the look you want, and it selects the most relevant templates from the library so you can begin designing right away. AI supports your process with fashion-aware suggestions while keeping the designer fully in control of every creative decision. Prêt-à-Template also includes a flexible mood board workspace where inspiration, materials, styling ideas, and product references can come together naturally. Its integrated fashion library includes fabrics, textile structures, prints, patterns, textures, trims, findings, sleeves, collars, cuffs, pockets, openings, construction details, care labels, and textile symbols, creating a rich environment for research, experimentation, and product thinking.  The canvas makes fashion sketching feel more expressive, natural, and realistic. You can sketch, shade, annotate, render, and refine using intuitive tools, realistic brush behavior, and a paper-like surface that gives the digital drawing experience a more tactile quality. Prêt-à-Template also uses AI with real fashion context. Its templates are built around garment proportions, silhouette logic, fabric behavior, drape, trims, and construction details, helping deliver results that feel realistic and aligned with professional fashion design workflows rather than generic image generation. From fashion design and fashion sketching to fashion illustration, outfit design, mood board creation, collection development, styling exploration, textile research, and fashion portfolio building, Prêt-à-Template supports every stage of the fashion design process in one creative workspace, whether you are just starting out or already working at a professional level.

About

Silu

Read full description

Make an embroidery design personal, right on your phone. Combine imported designs with your own lettering and simple stitched shapes, arrange each piece, and keep an editable Silu project for your next change. Bring designs together Add embroidery files as separate objects. Select, duplicate, align, reorder or lock each one, then move, resize, rotate or mirror it. Ordinary resizing keeps the stitch count and changes stitch spacing. Undo and Redo let you revisit a change. Each imported stitch file stays one object. Add your own words Create Korean or English lettering and numbers with the bundled Silu Sans font. Choose fill or outline stitches, letter height, spacing and thread color. Keep the original text in your Silu project so you can edit it again. Create simple stitched shapes Build lines, circles and rectangles, or work with a supported subset of SVG artwork. Use running or fill stitches and adjust generation settings. For lettering and vector objects made in Silu, change the original artwork's size and regenerate the stitches. Check the design before export Review dimensions, stitch count, thread colors, stitching order and your selected hoop. Replay stitches to inspect the sequence. Choose millimeters or inches for displayed measurements. Keep editable work and export a copy Save local projects and make a .silu.json backup you can restore, retaining objects and original text. Export JEF files or try beta support for DST, PES, PEC and EXP, including PES v1/v6 and EXP transfer sets. An EXP transfer set contains EXP, INF and BMP files; keep all three together. Share a PNG preview separately from your machine file. Editing and stitch generation work offline without an account. The interface supports 38 locales, including English and Korean; generated lettering supports Korean, English and numbers. Usage statistics are optional and off by default. DST, PES, PEC and EXP support is beta. Output in all formats, including JEF, has not been verified on embroidery machines. Conversion may lose thread-color or command information and can require your confirmation. Check your machine's supported format, hoop and transfer method, and test edited or generated designs with your fabric, thread and stabilizer before production sewing. View, edit and save projects for free. Silu Pro provides file exports and removes ads with a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Prêt à Template at none against Silu's shown. Prêt à Template also leads on chart position (#145 vs unranked). Silu's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
