Summary:This article aims to make a comparative analysis between the processes used by a dressmaker in her professional work, and the procedures of modelling (mathematics). The collaborator of this research was a professional from the south of Brazil who works with exclusive and large scale clothing production. The same granted interview through narratives. As a methodological procedure, mapping was used in educational research, organized in two moments: data apprehension through narratives of the collaborator of this research; and significance of this information - identification, understanding and careful analysis of the interviewee's narratives.
