Drafting a pattern can take anywhere between 1 to 8 hours. The time taken to draft a pattern depends on the type of garment, how much detail is required, how much information is provided by the client and construction methods.
Yes, absolutely!
A tech pack provides detailed information about your garment to clearly illustrate what your requirements and expectations are to your factory. Whether you’re producing garments locally or offshore, a detailed tech pack is essential.
In some instances yes, and in some instances no.
For basic garments like t-shirts or shirts often a detailed tech pack will be sufficient.
It all depends on the type of garment you have designed and what your factory’s capabilities are.
In many cases providing a well drafted pattern can put you ahead in the fit approval process.
It’s a bit of extra work & cost in the beginning but can save you much grief and money later down the track.
Having both a pattern and a tech pack for your factory is the most amount of information that you can supply to them to ensure your first fit sample is the best it can be. Having a pattern helps make the correct decisions on how to alter tricky fit issues. There are many technical rules and guidelines required for a well constructed pattern in order to produce a well fitted garment.
The short answer is, as much information as possible.
A detailed sketch, reference pictures and/or sample garments of what your design looks like is essential.
What fabric you will use for your garment. Does your fabric have any patterns or stripes to match?
Trim details (eg. Button type & size, zip type, fusing, prints/embroidery)
What size you want to fit your first sample on and the body measurements of your fit model/mannequin.
What size range you would like to produce.
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the above information, Well Measured can assist making decisions on all these aspects of your garment.
Yes, we can. We have experience in making patterns for things like hats and bags.
If your product is made in a type of fabric or even leather we can create a pattern for you.
Grading is the process of creating a full size range of your base size pattern that you can then put into production. Grading is the final pattern process to complete once your base size pattern is approved.
Computerized grading allows for millimetre perfect grading across your sizes. It also allows for accurate creation of smooth consistent shapes to ensure you achieve consistency in fit across all sizes.
Well Measured offers a wide range of services that can take you from your original design idea right through to bulk production.
