Scope of Work

During our initial consultative meeting, we work to establish the larger operating frame.

This means:

• Understanding your vision and goals (e.g., target market, design aesthetics, product type).

• Discussing an initial concept roadmap.

• Identifying the key resources (designers, patternmakers, fabric sourcing) required.

​

Sourcing is one of the most important aspects of apparel making. We are experts in:

• Helping clients source fabrics, hardware and trims that align with their design and vision, considering factors like sustainability, price, durability, and organic composition.

• Identifying reliable suppliers or mills that offer the best quality to fit your budget.

 

​

At this stage, we take feedback and learnings from fitting sessions to:

• Make adjustments to the sample.

• Collaborating with the pattern maker to revise the patterns and the sample sewer to modify the garment.

 

Cost Variables:

• Alteration costs: Additional fees for reworking the patterns or samples.

• Labor costs for revised sample cutting and sewing.

 (NOTE: This is a generalized scope of work offering general information about the apparel process).

Design is where ideas become tangible. After establishing the right scope, we widen our collaboration with the fashion designer to:

• Translate ideas into sketches and technical designs.

• Create final tech pack as needed

• Gain feedback and suggestions on trends, functionality, and market appeal.

​

​

​

Once we have materials sourced to go along with our patterns and pattern card, we continue with:​

• Finding and hiring cutters who can precisely cut fabric based on the patterns.

• Coordinating with a sample sewing service to create prototypes of the garment.

 

All prices are based oin indvidual projects

Once you are satisfied with your samples, we turn attention toward production. Our role at this stage is to:

• Guide you through decisions about final production, MOQ (Minimum Order Quantities), production timelines, and manufacturing locations.

• Advise on budgeting and logistics for full-scale production (e.g., minimum order quantities, lead times).

 

Cost Variables:

• Depending on the scale of production, manufacturing costs can vary significantly based on MOQ, labor, materials, and location.

• Shipping and logistics expenses for production runs.

 (NOTE: This is a generalized scope of work offering general information about the apparel process).

The right Patternmaker is critical to the integrity of the fit of your brand. Pattern making is a process that takes the flats of your design and brings your idea to life in a three-dimensional way.

Pattern makers will work with you from 1st pattern of development to final production ready:

Patternmaker will:

• Create patterns from the technical designs.

• Ensure patterns are accurate for the selected materials and garment style.

• Specing / Grading

• Create final tech pack for production ready styles for factories.

 

​

Fittings are an important step in bringing your design further to life. Here, your idea becomes tangible with fit models and feedback on fit.  

Let us help you by:

• Organizing fittings on a fit model (a person with body measurements that match your brands the target sizing).

• Evaluating how the garment fits and drapes on the model.

Consultant Fees

Based on hourly or project rates.

Design And Development Costs

Fees for designers, pattern makers, sample makers, and fabric sourcing.

Sample Production Costs

​The expenses related to cutting, sewing, and adjusting prototypes.

Fittings and Adjustments

Costs associated with fit models and alteration rounds.

​These elements put together form the foundation of our role in the early stages of apparel development. We can of course further tailor the process to your budget and timeline while providing expertise at every stage to ensure a smooth and efficient product launch.
