Since you are a graduate from commerce I'm sure you have a godd head for numbers which ultimately is needed for you to do business later. Even if you do not want to have your own enterprise an understanding of commerce helps you to see the commercial side of design. You will then not tend to go overboard with creating designs. They will be more practical designs. For a graduate there are options to undertake 2-yr programmes which are available at most prestigious institutes. Make sure you opt for a PG diploma programme as these courses will then be designed to give you thorough input in design, pattern making, garment construction and draping. In addition please go through the curriculum to check that you also get input in some business aspects of the industry. With such a rounded education it will be easier to start your career in this very competitive industry.
