An eight-stage project journey

This is a practical guide to an apparel project. The final scope, methods, costs and timing are set by the written quotation and approved specification.

1. Tell us what you are making

Begin with product type, intended customer, approximate quantity and destination. A tech pack is welcome, but a reference image with a written description is a useful starting point.

Your input: inspiration, target fit, sizes, colourways, branding, budget range and ideal date.

2. Define the specification

Discuss fabric construction and weight, measurements, trims, seams, decoration and packaging. Decisions are recorded in a project specification so expectations can be reviewed before sampling.

Decision point: agree what is included in the sample or initial development stage.

3. Quote and sample plan

A written quote should identify quantity, currency, development scope, sample charges, expected production schedule, packing, freight and payment stages. MOQ is negotiable and confirmed for the project.

Decision point: review and accept the written commercial terms before work begins.

4. Sample and revise

Review the sample on fit, hand feel, measurements, colour and branding. Make a consolidated change list. More than one sample round may be needed for a new fit or complex garment.

Decision point: sign off the final sample and technical details for bulk production.

5. Prepare for production

Confirm sizes and quantities by colour, approved materials, artwork files, label content, packaging and target dispatch. Changes after sign-off can alter cost or timing.

Your input: final purchase order and any receiving, labelling or compliance requirements.

6. Make and review

The exact production sequence varies by garment. The approved pattern and specifications guide cutting, assembly and decoration. Agree checks for measurements, finishing, branding placement and packed quantities.

Decision point: review any agreed inspection evidence or resolution of issues before dispatch.

7. Pack and dispatch

Confirm individual packaging if needed, size and colour breakdowns, carton markings, packing list and destination details. Shipping method and carrier are agreed for the route.

Output: the final documents and tracking information available for the agreed service.

8. Receive and follow up

On arrival, reconcile the packing list against your delivery and inspect the garments under the agreed order terms. Contact us promptly with your order reference and photographs if anything needs review.

Next step: keep the approved specification and feedback for repeat orders or future variants.

A good brief saves revisions

  • Send clear front, back and detail references.
  • Separate must-have specifications from preferences.
  • State the quantity per style and colour, plus the size breakdown.
  • Tell us who will approve samples and artwork.
  • Flag destination requirements early.
