PL / SERVICE_02 / Sample Development

Don’t imagine the garment. See it.

Turn your digital pattern into a physical garment that can be measured, reviewed, fitted and technically corrected before moving toward production.

Digital development meets physical reality.

A sample allows the technical decisions behind the garment to be evaluated physically.

It helps review

Sample development process

Measure what you developed.

Sample measurements can be checked against the intended specification to identify differences before the style progresses further.

Sample development process

Numbers tell part of the story. Fit tells the rest.

A garment may meet several measurements and still require changes to its balance, shape or fit.

The sample gives the technical team an opportunity to study the actual product.

Fit Correction

Development is a loop.

The purpose of sampling is not simply to produce one garment.

It is to learn from the garment and improve the underlying development.
