Some projects need more than a pattern. They need a development system.

Pattern Lab can support connected technical apparel development across pattern, sample, fit, correction, grading and marker stages.

Design is not production.

Between the creative idea and bulk manufacturing sits technical development.

This can involve

  • MEASUREMENTS
  • PATTERN ENGINEERING
  • FABRIC BEHAVIOUR
  • CONSTRUCTION
  • SAMPLING
  • FIT
  • CORRECTIONS
  • SIZING
  • MARKER PLANNING
  • PRODUCTION PREPARATION

Pattern Lab helps connect these stages.

For startups

You have the design. Build the technical foundation.

Emerging brands may not initially have an internal team covering every technical development function.

Pattern Lab can support selected development stages externally.

Relevant services may include

  • PATTERN DEVELOPMENT
  • SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT
  • FIT CORRECTION
  • GRADING
  • MARKER PLANNING
For established brands

Extend your development capacity.

Existing brands may use external technical development when internal teams are managing high style volumes, new categories or additional collections.

Pattern Lab can support agreed development stages according to project requirements.

For garment manufacturers

Technical support before the line starts.

Potential requirements

  • PATTERN DEVELOPMENT
  • PATTERN CORRECTION
  • GRADING
  • MARKER
  • DIGITISATION
  • SAMPLE SUPPORT

The objective is to resolve development requirements before they become production interruptions.

For international brands

Your remote technical development team.

  • Share technical information digitally.
  • Review development remotely.
  • Coordinate physical samples where required.
  • Receive final technical development outputs.

Don’t restart the relationship with every style.

Long-term technical collaboration creates an opportunity to understand a brand’s:

  • FIT EXPECTATIONS
  • SIZE ARCHITECTURE
  • CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
  • PATTERN LIBRARY
  • PRODUCT CATEGORIES
  • DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Over time, this can create a more structured technical-development relationship than isolated project-by-project execution.

Your product. Your information.

Development can involve unreleased designs, Tech Packs, patterns, measurement standards and proprietary product information.

Pattern Lab can support agreed confidentiality and NDA arrangements according to project requirements.
