Define how to measure
Two people can measure the same garment differently without agreed points. Use drawings and descriptions for key dimensions, and distinguish body measurements from finished garment measurements.

Custom patterns
Fit starts with a clear pattern brief. Establish the base measurements and construction, then check the pattern as a garment before extending the size range.

01 — In short
What is custom patterns?
Custom pattern making translates the agreed garment design into pieces used for cutting and construction. Grading develops the required size range from an approved base. Fabric behaviour, seam allowances, fit and construction details all influence the pattern, so a finished sample remains essential to approval.
02 — The order brief
Make the important details clear.
These are approval points for your specific garment. Materials, techniques, minimums and timing are confirmed in the written order brief.
- Base design
- Front and back views, feature details and any approved reference garment.
- Measurements
- Define measuring points, sample size, tolerances and the intended fit.
- Fabric behaviour
- Account for stretch direction, recovery, shrinkage and the selected finishing process.
- Size range
- Agree the grade rules and the dimensions that need separate fit review.
- Approval record
- Identify the pattern revision and the corresponding garment sample.
03 — From artwork to approval
Three decisions that shape the result.
Use the selected material
A pattern developed for a stable woven base may not behave the same in a stretch knit. Sample in the intended fabric or document what the substitute sample cannot establish.
Review more than one size when needed
A correct base size does not prove every size in the range. Discuss which grade points and size samples need checking for the intended audience and product.

Choose the application, not just the effect.
The same method is not automatically suitable for every garment. Use these starting points to discuss a practical fabric, fit and finish combination.

06 — Care and quality
Judge the complete garment.
Use the intended garment care and finishing process during fit assessment. Check the sample before and after washing so pattern changes respond to the actual material and construction.
Keep the approved sample and specification together. Review any change in fabric, artwork, trim or finishing before repeating a production run; a previous approval does not establish that a different combination will behave identically.

08 — Buyer questions
10 questions about Custom patterns.
Practical answers for preparing the garment, artwork, sample and order brief.
What information is needed for a garment pattern?
Provide the design views, reference measurements, intended fit, sample size, material and construction details. Include pockets, closures, panels and any areas where the wearer needs movement.
What is garment size grading?
Grading creates the agreed size range from a base pattern using defined changes at specific points. It should follow the buyer’s measurement and fit requirements.
Are body measurements and garment measurements the same?
No. Finished garments include the ease or reduction needed for their fit and material. Identify which measurements you are providing and how each point should be measured.
Can one pattern be used for cotton and stretch activewear?
Do not assume so. Stretch, recovery, drape and garment purpose change the pattern requirements. Review each fabric and fit combination in a sample.
Can you work from an existing sample?
A reference garment can support the brief. Confirm what should match and what should change, then document the measurements and construction for the new sample.
Should a sample be washed before final pattern approval?
If washing is part of the intended use, review the sample through the agreed care cycle. This helps identify dimension or appearance changes that affect pattern approval.
How are pattern revisions controlled?
Use a clear revision identifier and a written list of changes. Keep it linked to the corresponding sample and specification so production uses the approved version.
Does grading guarantee fit in every size?
No assumption should replace fit review. Agree the measurement requirements and which additional sizes need samples or checks, particularly where proportions or support requirements change.
Can I approve a sample for custom patterns before bulk?
Discuss custom patterns with the garment and artwork brief. Review the relevant physical sample or proof, record changes and approve the final specification before the agreed bulk work proceeds.
How are quantities and timing confirmed for custom patterns?
Send the garment styles, sizes, colours, artwork versions and quantity breakdown. Minimums, development scope, sample requirements and timing for custom patterns are confirmed for the order in writing; there are no fixed public prices.
09 — Your next step
Bring the brief. Approve the sample.
Send the product, target fabric, colours, size range, artwork and quantity breakdown. Explain the intended use and any required performance or care evidence. We discuss the applicable route, confirm the development scope and identify the sample or proof needed for approval.
Review the finish alongside the garment fit, labels and packing. Confirm the agreed revision and order conditions before bulk production.
