It can help complement as well as enhance your skincare regimen performance. But it cannot replace your facial care routine. However, it does work along with the regular products to provide the desired results. The hectic day to day life combined with smoking, alcohol, stress and pollution only aggravates aging. Sunscreens and moisturizers are not that effective to safeguard the skin or to maintain optimum condition.</p><p>An easy and effective way to maintain healthy, beautiful skin is to apply facial masks being made from top quality cosmetic masks material.

This document is usually prepared by the designer and finalized in consultation with the merchandisers, and then forwarded to bulk sampling department or to the production department for the reference and guide for bulk manufacturing.</b></p><p><b><u>THE OBJECTIVE<br /></u><br />The Objective here is, once techpack for any style is frozen, the production department must be able to go ahead with the manufacturing process without having to refer back to the designer for any aspect of production. The merchandisers are thus able to go ahead and ensure that the required material as per the techpack is made available to the production department, in the right quantities at the right time. The marketing department can use this document in their presentation, particularly to the large format stores and their key customers. The preparation of a techpack and using it to manage and co-ordinate various activities in production brings in efficiency within the company as, various departments refers to the common document for discussion or carrying out any activity.<br />Almost all garment manufacturing companies prepare a techpack. In many cases, the cutting instructions or job card issued to production acts as the techpack. However, the details given in the techpack are likely to vary with the sizes of the company. Large manufacturing companies generally have a detailed techpack for each of the styles under production, for the simple reason that any manufacturing that is not in line with what was desired results in a huge production loss. For exporters, preparation of a techpack is almost mandatory, as the buyers prefer to sign on the techpack before placing the order or would send in a techpack themselves.<br /><br /><u>TECHPACK TECHNICALITIES<br /></u><br />The complexity involved in bulk manufacturing of the styles also governs the contents of the techpack, even if the designers are personally involved in the manufacturing especially on high-end fashion garments. From a regular men’s shirt made out of a single fabrics to a complex style for women involving two or more garments (a top, a bottom and probably an inner are sold together under one pack as a single style), with each garment involving multiple fabrics and trims, topped with additional production process such as embroidery, printing, patch work etc. The production flow, care and control needed while production will differ, and so will the form and content of the techpack for such styles. A detailed techpack is usually prepared for styles that have been approved for bulk manufacturing and for which elements such as the kind of fabrics and trims have been frozen. Before this stage, the designers may make various combinations of styles for approval and keep a note of the activities that have gone into creation of each combination of the styles.</b></p><p></p><p>For more details please visit <a href="http://www.techpackdesign.com">www.techpackdesign.com</a></p><p></p></div>The Most Important Step to Get the Best Results From Your Productionhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-most-important-step-to-get-the-best-results-from-your2015-01-10T16:00:19.000Z2015-01-10T16:00:19.000ZBoazhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Boaz<div><p id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_12012">This week I read a very informative <a href="http://www.businessoffashion.com/2014/10/secret-journey-fashion-piece-part-2-manufacturing-production.html">article </a>on manufacturing and <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashiondevelopment">production</a> and it made me think: “What is the single most important step to get the best results from your production? “</p><p id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_12015">I once had a teacher who said that if we simply do our homework and study, the test will be a breeze! And he was right, it worked for me. The same concept easily translates to fashion production.</p><p id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_11970"><strong id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_12014">DESIGN WITH PRODUCTION IN MIND!</strong> I know how boring and limiting this part sounds for a creative person like you, but following this motto is the single, most important step to turn your creativity and talent into a BUSINESS! If you plan your production process while you design your product and think ahead about each step, re: the logistics, the cost, the timeline, etc. your production will be easy and will have no tricky questions or surprises.</p><p><a href="http://www.humanb.com/blog/2014/10/11/the-most-important-step-to-get-the-best-results-from-your-production" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843426093,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="508" class="align-center" height="381" alt="8843426093?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>To help you with that, here are 3 tips you should follow when designing your next season: </p><ul><li>Design with a <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-industry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheet </a>– Knowing your target retail price is going to help you determine your wholesale price as well as your desired cost (fabric cost, labor cost, shipping etc.). This will help you make the right design decisions to keep your product’s price point and will eliminate surprising costs in production. For example: Can you afford to have French seam on your blouse? How much of that expensive fabric can you use on that dress? What is the cost of importing your fabrics (freight + custom duties)? If you need help with costing, check out our <a href="http://www.humanb.com/costing-workshop/">costing workshop here</a> or use our <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-industry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheet</a>!</li><li><p>Pay attention to the details – Every seam and every design detail on your product will affect how smooth (and costly) will the process be, not to mention it will need to be thoroughly explained to your contractors. When thinking about the details consider the following questions: Does it have a good reason to be added? What does it take to be made in bulk for production? What will it cost (time and money) and does it justify the cost of it? For example: if you’re looking to combine 2 different fabric will it be easy to sew them together? If you are unsure about any of the above, consult your pattern maker or factory. They have a good understanding of time and cost on their end that might save you from a headache down the line. If you need tips on how to work/communicate with a sewing contractor, <a href="http://www.humanb.com/sewing-contractor-workshop">click here</a> to listen to <a href="http://www.humanb.com/sewing-contractor-workshop">our FREE workshop</a> on the subject.</p></li><li>Design the process, not only the product - Run through the logistics of the process from A-Z in your head. Where is the fabric coming from? How much time will it take to arrive? How many hands will it go through until the product is finished and how to coordinate all these separate parts? For example: Can your contractor apply your trim/hardware or will it need to be sent out to a different shop, if so than when, how and who will send it? Keep things simple. If you foresee any issues with timing, cost, and personalities, address them NOW or choose a different solution.</li></ul><p>Remember, time is money so thinking about the ways to make the production process easier for your contractor will reflect in their prices and how willing are they to go the extra mile for you. </p><p>Production by its nature (especially the first time) will most likely throw some curve balls at you, but planning ahead will make the difference between a small bump in the road and a deadly accident!</p><p><strong>P.S</strong> If you need a second opinion or need help to make sense of it all, <a href="mailto:%20info@humanb.com">contact us</a> to book your Feasibility Session NOW!</p></div>5 POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PRICING YOUR FASHION PRODUCThttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/5-points-to-consider-when-pricing-your-fashion-product2014-10-28T13:11:55.000Z2014-10-28T13:11:55.000ZBoazhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Boaz<div><p><span>Designing your next collection? How is the development process going so far? Hopefully your collection is coming well and on time. A major next step for you is to cost and price your products right to make sure that you will be making a profit.</span></p><p><span>As you are working on your <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-industry-forms/cost-sheet" target="_blank">cost sheets</a> and in order to help you avoid <a href="http://www.humanb.com/blog/2014/8/20/200k-sales-in-first-season-yet-almost-out-of-business-a-true-story" target="_blank">this bad experience</a>, here are 5 points to consider while costing and pricing your fashion line:</span></p><p><span><a href="http://www.humanb.com/blog/2014/9/18/5-points-to-consider-when-pricing-your-fashion-product" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843390077,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="450" class="align-center" alt="8843390077?profile=original" /></a></span></p><ol><li><strong>Consider your target market</strong> – your product should be a perfect match (all around) for your target customer and market. Do your market research, study the pricing for your type of products from your competition and decide on your price position in your market. Too low will make your target customer suspicious about your product. Too high and they will stay with competition that they already know and trust.</li><li><strong>Consider your product’s value</strong> - If you are offering something that is not available in the market (service or product) – that is BIG VALUE = PRICE! Just like in that Master Card commercial – Value is priceless! If your product is going to save your customer time, money and frustration, solve them a problem or simply make their lives easier than it is very valuable for them! define that value and translate it into a $ amount! FYI – make sure to clearly communicate this value in your marketing!</li><li><p><strong>Pay attention to your gross margins</strong> – Gross margins measure the profit of your fashion product in %. It tracks your business growth and keep an eye on the profitability of your product / business. So make sure to pay attention to it when costing your product. Need help understanding gross margins? Our <a href="http://www.humanb.com/costing-workshop">costing workshop</a> will help with that. Need help calculating your gross margins? <a target="_blank" href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-findustry-forms/cost-sheet">Get our cost sheet here</a>.</p></li><li><p><strong>Cost your product for now</strong> – If this is your first season/s than most likely your big challenge is what quantity should you cost for production. The reality is that as a new start-up your margins in the first few seasons will not be high enough (mostly cause your production units are low), but that is NORMAL! What you need to do is create two <a target="_blank" href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-findustry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheets</a>, one for today which is based on small runs and one for later stage which will cost your product for when you will be producing larger units in few seasons from now. It is fine if right now your margins are low but you can see when and how they will get better as units grow, BUT if your future <a target="_blank" href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-findustry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheet</a> still doesn't look profitable enough than that's a red flag and you’ll need to adjust!</p></li><li><p><strong>Think about the retailer</strong> – If you are looking to offer wholesale at any point (even if not right away), than calculate in your cost sheet and make sure that you building up enough mark-up for you to sell wholesale and still allow your retailers to apply their mark-up. Remember- wholesale price is when you sell from one business to another business – not direct to the customer, therefore when you sell from your own website to an end customer then you must sell in retail price, adding on the same mark up a retailer will add to your wholesale price. You can NOT compete in price with your retailers otherwise they will not buy from you.</p></li></ol><p>If you need more help with costing and pricing your fashion product let us help.

The problem is due to three pattern-making problems: bad Pattern balancing, wrong pattern proportions and incorrect pattern adjustments when fitting a garment on a live model.<br /><br /><b>First Pattern Making Problem:</b> Balancing. When designing a garment pattern balance plays a major role in the way a garment fits on a person’s body. A not well balance pattern can cause a garment to look poorly fitted or unpleasant to the client’s eye due to the way it hangs on a hanger. A pattern that is off grain line not align properly on the fabric’s grain line can cause a garment to swing toward one side more than the other side.<br /><br /><b>Second Pattern Making Problem:</b> Wrong pattern proportions. Now days many designs signatures create designs that do not reflect true body measurements or proportions. This problem is best seen when people go shopping and do not find a garment that fits them properly either because the design is too big overall or the bust measurement of a dress is too small and the hip area too big. Making a pattern for a design with not standard specifications available will dramatically affect the fit of a design by making it not wearable due to the patterns proportions wrongly used. Another common problem when making a pattern for a particular costumer or market is the lack of a professional model hired by a company or designer. This can be very problematic issued in pattern making because not having an actual model as a base size and using different models will change the proportions of a pattern for a particular design.<br /><br /><b>Third Pattern Making Problem</b>: Incorrect pattern alterations. Not knowing correct pattern drafting techniques and proper pattern alterations when fitting a garment on a live model will return poor fitted garments. Experienced pattern makers now days use technology to create patterns but often in times many pattern corrections are not made properly due to the lack of manual pattern manipulation experienced. It is imperative that pattern corrections made to a pattern must be tested for accuracy and fit before releasing a pattern for production.<br /><br /><b>In Summation,</b> Many High-end department stores do not always have the best-fitted garments in their stores. Costumers have a hard time finding a well-fitted garment and patterns made for a particular design are not been fitted properly. Incorrect pattern balancing, not true proportions and lock of knowledge about how to fix a pattern on a real live model will all contribute to poor fitted garments. Following industry standards and making the proper research about body proportion of a particular population will dramatically improve the way a garment fits on a person’s body.

This document is usually prepared by the designer and finalized in consultation with the merchandisers, and then forwarded to bulk sampling department or to the production department for the reference and guide for bulk manufacturing.</b></p><p><b><u>THE OBJECTIVE<br /></u><br />The Objective here is, once techpack for any style is frozen, the production department must be able to go ahead with the manufacturing process without having to refer back to the designer for any aspect of production. The merchandisers are thus able to go ahead and ensure that the required material as per the techpack is made available to the production department, in the right quantities at the right time. The marketing department can use this document in their presentation, particularly to the large format stores and their key customers. The preparation of a techpack and using it to manage and co-ordinate various activities in production brings in efficiency within the company as, various departments refers to the common document for discussion or carrying out any activity.<br />Almost all garment manufacturing companies prepare a techpack. In many cases, the cutting instructions or job card issued to production acts as the techpack. However, the details given in the techpack are likely to vary with the sizes of the company. Large manufacturing companies generally have a detailed techpack for each of the styles under production, for the simple reason that any manufacturing that is not in line with what was desired results in a huge production loss. For exporters, preparation of a techpack is almost mandatory, as the buyers prefer to sign on the techpack before placing the order or would send in a techpack themselves.<br /><br /><u>TECHPACK TECHNICALITIES<br /></u><br />The complexity involved in bulk manufacturing of the styles also governs the contents of the techpack, even if the designers are personally involved in the manufacturing especially on high-end fashion garments. From a regular men’s shirt made out of a single fabrics to a complex style for women involving two or more garments (a top, a bottom and probably an inner are sold together under one pack as a single style), with each garment involving multiple fabrics and trims, topped with additional production process such as embroidery, printing, patch work etc. The production flow, care and control needed while production will differ, and so will the form and content of the techpack for such styles. A detailed techpack is usually prepared for styles that have been approved for bulk manufacturing and for which elements such as the kind of fabrics and trims have been frozen. Before this stage, the designers may make various combinations of styles for approval and keep a note of the activities that have gone into creation of each combination of the styles.</b></p><p></p><p>For more details please visit <a href="http://www.techpackdesign.com">www.techpackdesign.com</a></p><p></p></div>The Most Important Step to Get the Best Results From Your Productionhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-most-important-step-to-get-the-best-results-from-your2015-01-10T16:00:19.000Z2015-01-10T16:00:19.000ZBoazhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Boaz<div><p id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_12012">This week I read a very informative <a href="http://www.businessoffashion.com/2014/10/secret-journey-fashion-piece-part-2-manufacturing-production.html">article </a>on manufacturing and <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashiondevelopment">production</a> and it made me think: “What is the single most important step to get the best results from your production? “</p><p id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_12015">I once had a teacher who said that if we simply do our homework and study, the test will be a breeze! And he was right, it worked for me. The same concept easily translates to fashion production.</p><p id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_11970"><strong id="yui_3_17_2_7_1413044834779_12014">DESIGN WITH PRODUCTION IN MIND!</strong> I know how boring and limiting this part sounds for a creative person like you, but following this motto is the single, most important step to turn your creativity and talent into a BUSINESS! If you plan your production process while you design your product and think ahead about each step, re: the logistics, the cost, the timeline, etc. your production will be easy and will have no tricky questions or surprises.</p><p><a href="http://www.humanb.com/blog/2014/10/11/the-most-important-step-to-get-the-best-results-from-your-production" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843426093,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="508" class="align-center" height="381" alt="8843426093?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>To help you with that, here are 3 tips you should follow when designing your next season: </p><ul><li>Design with a <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-industry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheet </a>– Knowing your target retail price is going to help you determine your wholesale price as well as your desired cost (fabric cost, labor cost, shipping etc.). This will help you make the right design decisions to keep your product’s price point and will eliminate surprising costs in production. For example: Can you afford to have French seam on your blouse? How much of that expensive fabric can you use on that dress? What is the cost of importing your fabrics (freight + custom duties)? If you need help with costing, check out our <a href="http://www.humanb.com/costing-workshop/">costing workshop here</a> or use our <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-industry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheet</a>!</li><li><p>Pay attention to the details – Every seam and every design detail on your product will affect how smooth (and costly) will the process be, not to mention it will need to be thoroughly explained to your contractors. When thinking about the details consider the following questions: Does it have a good reason to be added? What does it take to be made in bulk for production? What will it cost (time and money) and does it justify the cost of it? For example: if you’re looking to combine 2 different fabric will it be easy to sew them together? If you are unsure about any of the above, consult your pattern maker or factory. They have a good understanding of time and cost on their end that might save you from a headache down the line. If you need tips on how to work/communicate with a sewing contractor, <a href="http://www.humanb.com/sewing-contractor-workshop">click here</a> to listen to <a href="http://www.humanb.com/sewing-contractor-workshop">our FREE workshop</a> on the subject.</p></li><li>Design the process, not only the product - Run through the logistics of the process from A-Z in your head. Where is the fabric coming from? How much time will it take to arrive? How many hands will it go through until the product is finished and how to coordinate all these separate parts? For example: Can your contractor apply your trim/hardware or will it need to be sent out to a different shop, if so than when, how and who will send it? Keep things simple. If you foresee any issues with timing, cost, and personalities, address them NOW or choose a different solution.</li></ul><p>Remember, time is money so thinking about the ways to make the production process easier for your contractor will reflect in their prices and how willing are they to go the extra mile for you. </p><p>Production by its nature (especially the first time) will most likely throw some curve balls at you, but planning ahead will make the difference between a small bump in the road and a deadly accident!</p><p><strong>P.S</strong> If you need a second opinion or need help to make sense of it all, <a href="mailto:%20info@humanb.com">contact us</a> to book your Feasibility Session NOW!</p></div>5 POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PRICING YOUR FASHION PRODUCThttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/5-points-to-consider-when-pricing-your-fashion-product2014-10-28T13:11:55.000Z2014-10-28T13:11:55.000ZBoazhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Boaz<div><p><span>Designing your next collection? How is the development process going so far? Hopefully your collection is coming well and on time. A major next step for you is to cost and price your products right to make sure that you will be making a profit.</span></p><p><span>As you are working on your <a href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-industry-forms/cost-sheet" target="_blank">cost sheets</a> and in order to help you avoid <a href="http://www.humanb.com/blog/2014/8/20/200k-sales-in-first-season-yet-almost-out-of-business-a-true-story" target="_blank">this bad experience</a>, here are 5 points to consider while costing and pricing your fashion line:</span></p><p><span><a href="http://www.humanb.com/blog/2014/9/18/5-points-to-consider-when-pricing-your-fashion-product" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843390077,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="450" class="align-center" alt="8843390077?profile=original" /></a></span></p><ol><li><strong>Consider your target market</strong> – your product should be a perfect match (all around) for your target customer and market. Do your market research, study the pricing for your type of products from your competition and decide on your price position in your market. Too low will make your target customer suspicious about your product. Too high and they will stay with competition that they already know and trust.</li><li><strong>Consider your product’s value</strong> - If you are offering something that is not available in the market (service or product) – that is BIG VALUE = PRICE! Just like in that Master Card commercial – Value is priceless! If your product is going to save your customer time, money and frustration, solve them a problem or simply make their lives easier than it is very valuable for them! define that value and translate it into a $ amount! FYI – make sure to clearly communicate this value in your marketing!</li><li><p><strong>Pay attention to your gross margins</strong> – Gross margins measure the profit of your fashion product in %. It tracks your business growth and keep an eye on the profitability of your product / business. So make sure to pay attention to it when costing your product. Need help understanding gross margins? Our <a href="http://www.humanb.com/costing-workshop">costing workshop</a> will help with that. Need help calculating your gross margins? <a target="_blank" href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-findustry-forms/cost-sheet">Get our cost sheet here</a>.</p></li><li><p><strong>Cost your product for now</strong> – If this is your first season/s than most likely your big challenge is what quantity should you cost for production. The reality is that as a new start-up your margins in the first few seasons will not be high enough (mostly cause your production units are low), but that is NORMAL! What you need to do is create two <a target="_blank" href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-findustry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheets</a>, one for today which is based on small runs and one for later stage which will cost your product for when you will be producing larger units in few seasons from now. It is fine if right now your margins are low but you can see when and how they will get better as units grow, BUT if your future <a target="_blank" href="http://www.humanb.com/fashion-findustry-forms/cost-sheet">cost sheet</a> still doesn't look profitable enough than that's a red flag and you’ll need to adjust!</p></li><li><p><strong>Think about the retailer</strong> – If you are looking to offer wholesale at any point (even if not right away), than calculate in your cost sheet and make sure that you building up enough mark-up for you to sell wholesale and still allow your retailers to apply their mark-up. Remember- wholesale price is when you sell from one business to another business – not direct to the customer, therefore when you sell from your own website to an end customer then you must sell in retail price, adding on the same mark up a retailer will add to your wholesale price. You can NOT compete in price with your retailers otherwise they will not buy from you.</p></li></ol><p>If you need more help with costing and pricing your fashion product let us help.

Obviously the conversation touched on the industry and we got into a conversation about how easy it is to forget the fundamentals like draping and filling out a spec sheet. <b>Funny thing, we both forgot how to measure shoulder slope.</b> We knew the term, but couldn’t remember how to take the measurement. After talking about it and sketching it out on a napkin we figured it out. So just in case you too forgot, I re-sketched it for your reference. -Brandon<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8842698870,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" /></p>See full article at the link below:<b>http://pinkyshears.com/2009/11/a-shoulder-slope-to-cry-on/</b></div>JUST DZINE - A COMPLETE APPAREL SOLUTIONhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/just-dzine-a-complete-apparel-12009-07-31T17:53:43.000Z2009-07-31T17:53:43.000Ztechpack designhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/techpackdesign<div>Hi all,We have started a world wide apparel design services Please visit <b><a href="http://www.justdzine.com" target="_blank">www.justdzine.com</a></b> for more details and lowest prices<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8842670296,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="692" height="110" /></p></div>Freelance Technical Clothing Designerhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/httpdesignerparomitadasblogspo-12016-09-15T15:30:00.000Z2016-09-15T15:30:00.000ZTech Pack Designer - Paromitahttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/fashion_tech_packs<div><h1>Clothing Designer and Garment Manufacturer Offer End To End Solution To Apparel Brands</h1><p align="justify">Fashion Studio Urban Purple is an Integrated Fashion Studio with Most Efficient <strong><a href="http://www.paromitadas.com">Clothing Designer and Garment Manufacturer</a></strong> Group that Supports in Apparel Design , Tech Pack Design and Garment Manufacturing Support Across Globe.

The problem is due to three pattern-making problems: bad Pattern balancing, wrong pattern proportions and incorrect pattern adjustments when fitting a garment on a live model.<br /><br /><b>First Pattern Making Problem:</b> Balancing. When designing a garment pattern balance plays a major role in the way a garment fits on a person’s body. A not well balance pattern can cause a garment to look poorly fitted or unpleasant to the client’s eye due to the way it hangs on a hanger. A pattern that is off grain line not align properly on the fabric’s grain line can cause a garment to swing toward one side more than the other side.<br /><br /><b>Second Pattern Making Problem:</b> Wrong pattern proportions. Now days many designs signatures create designs that do not reflect true body measurements or proportions. This problem is best seen when people go shopping and do not find a garment that fits them properly either because the design is too big overall or the bust measurement of a dress is too small and the hip area too big. Making a pattern for a design with not standard specifications available will dramatically affect the fit of a design by making it not wearable due to the patterns proportions wrongly used. Another common problem when making a pattern for a particular costumer or market is the lack of a professional model hired by a company or designer. This can be very problematic issued in pattern making because not having an actual model as a base size and using different models will change the proportions of a pattern for a particular design.<br /><br /><b>Third Pattern Making Problem</b>: Incorrect pattern alterations. Not knowing correct pattern drafting techniques and proper pattern alterations when fitting a garment on a live model will return poor fitted garments. Experienced pattern makers now days use technology to create patterns but often in times many pattern corrections are not made properly due to the lack of manual pattern manipulation experienced. It is imperative that pattern corrections made to a pattern must be tested for accuracy and fit before releasing a pattern for production.<br /><br /><b>In Summation,</b> Many High-end department stores do not always have the best-fitted garments in their stores. Costumers have a hard time finding a well-fitted garment and patterns made for a particular design are not been fitted properly. Incorrect pattern balancing, not true proportions and lock of knowledge about how to fix a pattern on a real live model will all contribute to poor fitted garments. Following industry standards and making the proper research about body proportion of a particular population will dramatically improve the way a garment fits on a person’s body. A conscious or well-established company who hires professional experienced pattern makers and fit models will benefit from their investment the most by getting compliments and sales on all the designs they create no matter of its size or the number of years it has been in business.<br /><br />ABOUT ALEJANDRO:<br />Leading Technical designer and professional pattern maker Alejandro Esparza owner of <a href="http://www.smartpatternmaking.com" target="_blank">http://www.smartpatternmaking.com</a> has provided for over 18 years, Apparel pattern making and technical design packages for many top companies of our time in Los Angeles CA<br /><br /><a href="http://www.smartpatternmaking.com" target="_blank">http://www.smartpatternmaking.com</a> is the best pattern making service online at affordable prices.

Turn around time for most jobs is faster if done all at one time and pricewise, it will cost less money to manufacture a garment in a design studio house by paying a flat rate for the whole process versus paying regular prize for each individual job you make at different locations not mentioning the inconvenience and hassle of driving to different locations and the long time it takes just to get one job done.<br /><br />When creating a new design several jobs or steps must be taken before the garments gets finished and be presented to a potential customer.<br />Some examples of the jobs offered by a pattern design studio are:<br /><br />• First–prod.

A design studio coordinates and organizes all the work flow to be done for the costumer and spends a great deal of time explaining each little detail of the design process to its design team who will be in charge and responsible for the completion of a given project.<br /><br />Pricewise, making a garment in a design studio will cost a lot less money versus paying five to ten thousand dollars for the making of basic design. This amount of money is often spend by manufacturing companies who have t the obligation of paying all the salaries of their design team which can add up to thousands of dollars every week not forgetting the fact that paying regular prize for each individual service will always be more expensive than paying a flat rate for all the work to be done. A well-grounded Design studio with a knowledgeable fashion design head coordinator will be capable of offering the above services, exceed its customer expectations and provide 100 % costumer satisfaction no matter of its size or location.<br /><br />In addition, hiring a professional full package pattern design studio house has many advantages, one of them is the ability to create many jobs or obtain different services in one location. Turn around time for all jobs to be made are faster if done all at one time and costumers who wish to create a line of their own will over all save thousands of dollars by not having to pay the salaries of a design team whose salaries can add up to thousands every week.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">About the Author</span></b><br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Occupation:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Technical Designer/</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">production Coordinator</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and Photographer</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Leading Technical designer, Alejandro Esparza owner of</span> <a href="http://www.smartpatternmaking.com"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span>http://www.smartpatternmaking.com</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><a href="http://www.smartpatternmaking.com"></a>has provided for over 22 years, Apparel pattern design services and technical<br /> design packages for many top companies of our time in Los Angeles CA USA</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.smartpatternmaking.com"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span>http://www.smartpatternmaking.com</span></span></a> <span style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(27,27,27);">is the best pattern making service online at affordable prices.
