Design and development
Scaling an approved pattern across a size range so every size fits the body it is meant for.
Grading is not simple scaling. Body proportions do not change uniformly across a size range, so a garment graded by a flat percentage fits the sample size well and everything else poorly.
Grade rules are set per point of measure and reviewed against the target market, because size expectations differ between the USA, the United Kingdom and continental Europe.
Process
Each stage exists to resolve one question. Skipping a stage moves risk further down the line rather than removing it.
The size range and the base size are confirmed.
Increments are set per point of measure rather than applied uniformly.
The smallest and largest sizes are checked, since errors show there first.
A full graded measurement chart is issued for approval.
Suitability
Where this capability is the right choice, and the materials it is compatible with.
Limits
Stated plainly, because a capability described without its constraints will be misapplied to a product it does not suit.
Materials
Composition, weight guidance and decoration behaviour for each fabric are on its own page.
Questions
Sampling normally runs in stages: a proto sample to confirm construction, a fit sample against your measurement chart, and a pre production sample that fixes fabric, colour, decoration, labelling and packaging. Each stage needs written approval before the next one starts. Sample charges and courier costs are quoted before work begins.
We build labelling into the specification and apply exactly what you approve, including fibre content, care symbols, country of origin and identification details. Responsibility for confirming what your market and your product category legally require stays with you as the brand owner. We flag anything that looks inconsistent before production.
Tell us the product, the fabric and the quantity. We will confirm whether this is the right process and what it means for your minimum quantity and schedule.
