Here is today's version of desktop forge fassion. I hope it is better by the 2070's or the Zoe run may not go so well...

The Bikini is a little odd, but I could see an actual person willingly wearing it. The dresses, on the other hand... That's a masterwork of bad.

the dresses look like crumpled paper. But I've seen stranger things come from fashion designers. However what are the pros and cons to using the desktop forge compaired to purchasing premium fabric and making the patterns from scratch?

With today's technology it's really just a stunt, the resolution isn't there so it's no completion with traditional fabric.

With Shadowrun technology, where the forge has the resolution to build the tightests weaves there could be a lot of advantages. They kind of talk about this in terms of the bikini, you can control the structure of the fabric local so you would be able to control where creases go, how garments, sit as well as imbedding technology into the weave, adding things like zippers, snaps, plates all in one go.

In the cause of us bootlegging Zoe garments that are made from fabric, it would probably be more cost effective to use fabric rather than the forge IF we owned a automated garment fab. The forge is probably less efficient but the markup more than make up for it and, well, my character does own the forge.

Right... You already paid the overhead on the forge. You't have a sweatshop with sewing machines ready to go yet.
