What a clothing sample should prove
A sample confirms that your brief works as a real garment: fit, fabric, construction, color and branding together. Review it on a fit model if you can, measure it against your size chart and check every branded detail.
Sample lead time is typically 7 days once the brief and materials are confirmed. Expect at least one round of comments for new styles.
Sample review checklist
When the sample arrives:
- Measure key points against the size chart.
- Check fabric weight, hand feel and color.
- Inspect seams, hems and construction details.
- Confirm labels, prints and embroidery.
- Send comments with photos and marked measurements.
After approval
The approved sample is the reference for bulk production and inspection. Bulk timing depends on order quantity. The MOQ is 100 pcs. Read the clothing sample approval checklist in resources, or see the production process.
How many sample rounds
For a new pattern, plan for at least two rounds. For a known fit with new fabric or decoration, one round may be enough. Clear, numbered comments with photos and measurements make each round faster and more precise.
What to do if the sample is not right
Write comments in a numbered list, attach photos with marked measurements and say which comments are critical. A clear list leads to a better second sample than many separate messages.
Sample costs
Ask how samples are charged and whether revisions are included before you start, so there are no surprises.
Keep samples organized
Label each sample round and keep notes, so later comparisons are easy.

Size grading develops a garment pattern across a size range. It is not simply adding the same amount to every measurement. Begin with a base fit that works, define how key dimensions should change, and check the resulting proportions on more than the middle size before releasing bulk production.
