Toile

A toile is a test garment made from inexpensive fabric, usually calico, used to check the fit before the real fabric is cut.

In the file

Corrections are marked on the toile and transferred back into the pattern. If the pattern is digital, that turns into a new version instead of a paper sheet covered in taped on additions.
