Quality, design, innovation, and technology are the pillars of the textile and clothing industry. It creates amazing garments from different raw materials that customers can’t get enough of. Learn how the clothing industry works and what makes it so amazing.
Production and productivity are two different but related concepts. Production means creating something of value, measured by quantity. Productivity means using resources efficiently to create something of value, measured by quality. Resources include all the means of production, such as labor, capital, and materials. Productivity is the key to achieving higher performance and profitability in any business
THE STEPS INVOLVED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Style Creation
Creating a style requires finding a balance among various factors: how the product works, how it looks, how much it costs, and who it is for.
Form| Color| Material
To create a great collection, you need to balance different elements in a pleasing way:
- DESIGN: The style, shape, and pattern of the clothing items
- FABRIC: The material, texture, and quality of the fabrics
- COLOR: The hue, tone, and contrast of the colors
- ACCESSORIES: The items that complement and enhance the outfits
- CONSTRUCTION: The sewing, stitching, and finishing of the garments
Bring your sketches to life with Pattern Construction
This is the process of turning your sketches into a paper or digital pattern in base size that forms the basis of your design. It requires skill and precision, but also creativity and flair. Once you have your base pattern, you can easily create other sizes by adding or subtracting measurements at specific points. This technique is called grading, and it ensures that your design fits different body shapes and sizes beautifully.
Prototype and Collection
This is the stage where you turn design concepts into actual garments. You create technical drawings, patterns, size charts and prototypes for each piece in our collection. You also source the best materials and trimmings that match your vision and values. You test the fit, construction and finishes of your prototypes to ensure they meet high standards of quality and style. This stage is essential to outline the details and specifications of your collection before moving on to production.
Technical Cost Sheet: A Tool for Valuing Your Prototype
A technical cost sheet shows all the costs of making a prototype for a fashion product. It helps you to estimate the value and pre-cost of your prototype accurately and efficiently. This can help you save resources, increase profits, and decide whether to produce the style or not.
