Samples
In the garment industry, a sample refers to a prototype or an initial version of a garment that is created based on the designer's specifications and patterns. Creating an apparel sample involves several key steps, which ensure that the design is accurately translated from concept to a tangible prototype. Here are the key steps involved in making an apparel sample:
Starting with the initial design concept, sketches, and technical drawings that outline the garment's style, features, and construction details.
Developing patterns based on the design specifications. This can be done manually or using computer-aided design (CAD) software to ensure precise measurements and details.
Choosing the appropriate fabrics, trims, and other materials that will be used to create the sample. This step involves considering the texture, weight, and properties of the materials to match the design's requirements.
Laying out the pattern pieces on the selected fabric and cut them accurately. This step requires precision to ensure that the pieces match the design and will fit together correctly.
Sewing the cut fabric pieces together according to the design's construction details. This step involves various sewing techniques and may include adding details like zippers, buttons, and embellishments.
Conducting a fitting session with the sample garment to check the fit, comfort, and overall look. Make any necessary adjustments to the pattern and construction based on the fitting results.
Completing the garment by adding final touches, such as hemming, pressing, and attaching labels or tags.
Inspecting the finished sample for any defects or inconsistencies. Ensure that the sample meets the design specifications and quality standards.
Reviewing the sample with the design team and stakeholders to gather feedback. Make any additional revisions or adjustments as needed before proceeding to bulk production.
Once the sample is finalized and approved, it serves as the reference for mass production, ensuring that all garments produced match the approved sample's quality and design.
