[The Details]

1. Ideation, Design & Plan

At the start of any development process, we begin with a 1st time consultation or concept design meeting. During this meeting, we'll discuss your brand, ideas and budget in order to create a personalized plan and timeline that suits your project needs. If you are ready to move forward with a full development project, then we go over all design specifications such as specs, sizes and sourcing needs before proceeding.

2. Material Sourcing

After gaining a clear vision of the project needs, our team will help source the best wholesale materials and fabrics such as textiles, notions, hardware and more. All findings from the material sourcing process will be communicated to you before moving on to producing sew samples.

3. Pattern Making

Using AD software, our knowledgeable in-house pattern maker creates the blueprint for your product by drafting and digitizing it. If needed, they can also grade your designs in order to produce standardized sizes for your product. At completion of this step, the pattern is provided for you to use as you wish.

4. Sample Making

Our experienced Sample Makers cut and sew each garment piece by hand in order to give you an initial look at how your designs will look when finished. Once a perfect sample is made, then all patterns are finalized, graded sizes are created accordingly based on fabric widths and handed off to production teams for further work.

5. Fittings/ Adjustments

In order to ensure that your design meets all expectations upon completion, after the first fitting adjustments may be necessary in order for us to achieve perfection with your design – if alterations are not needed then approval is given and we move onto production steps. Any additional changes required beyond what was initially planned will be billed under an ‘Al Carte’ pricing structure depending on what needs done exactly .

6. Pre-Production

This step concludes the development process by finalizing purchase orders; cut tickets; materials needed; quantities; labeling requirements; packaging needs – all of which are taken care of by our production cutting/sewing teams who take over from there! Furthermore prior knowledge about different types of fabric properties such as breathability or elasticity is key so that an optimal material selection can be made – something our experienced staff always takes into account when selecting materials for projects!
