FAQs

HOW LONG DOES A DESIGN CONSULTATION LAST?

Consultation time varies based on the complexity of your design and progress. On average, a single style takes at least 30 minutes to review, but more intricate designs may require additional time. Having a reference sample, images, or videos ready will help streamline the process.

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?

To begin, we need details about your project and how we can assist you. Once we have this information, we’ll schedule an introduction call (30 minutes) to discuss your needs and next steps.

Simply follow the appointment link, fill in the details, and we’ll be in touch!

HOW MUCH DOES PATTERN MAKING AND GRADING COST?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your designs, the number of pattern pieces, and the time required to complete them. Each project is unique, and we ensure every client receives the same level of precision and dedication to maintain the highest quality. We also offer bespoke pricing,discounts based on volume and subscription plan.

DO YOU WORK WITH CLIENTS OUTSIDE OF OUR LOCATION?

Yes! We work with brands globally. Design consultations and fittings can be done via email, phone, or Zoom. If you need material selection assistance, you can partner with a sourcing agent or send us samples for reference.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR A DESIGN CONSULTATION?

It’s helpful to provide:

  • Material details

  • Deadlines

  • Sketches or a spec sheet (if available, but not required)

During the consultation, we’ll review your designs, discuss cost-effective solutions, and guide you through the development process.

WHAT IS A REFERENCE SAMPLE?

A reference sample is an existing garment that helps us understand your desired fit and design. Ideally, it should be made of fabric similar in stretch and weight to your final product. In some cases, we can provide reference samples upon request.

WHAT IS A PATTERN?

A pattern is a template used to cut fabric pieces before assembly. It ensures proper fit and design accuracy. After your consultation, we create custom patterns based on your fit model.

WHAT IS A TECH PACK?

A tech pack contains all essential details (measurements, construction notes, materials, and more) to guide manufacturers through production. It reduces the number of samples needed, saving both time and costs.

WHAT IS A BASE PATTERN?

A base pattern is a base silhouette that undergoes minor modifications each season (e.g., adding a pocket or trim to a T-shirt). It helps brands maintain consistency and streamline development while reducing costs.

WHAT IS A MARKER, AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

A marker is a layout that maximizes fabric efficiency by arranging pattern pieces for cutting. It minimizes waste and optimizes material usage, making it essential for production.
