Apparel Design studio house should follow the
rules of inspection process listed below for
perfect fitted garments. The process shown
below will eliminate all the work, and problems

insuring that the design will have accurate
pattern information, correct grading
specifications, professional sample cutting,
and the highest possible sewing quality to

sheet containing all the necessary information
for the making of your design. This pattern
card is created once your pattern has been made
and must have a complete list of all the
pattern pieces the make up your design. Sewing
details, trim details and thread detail
information if any should be written down to
insure proper garment construction.
2) Pattern balance and
accurate cutting
Once your paper pattern has
been made its time now to trace if off on a
special dotted paper for proper grain line
alignment before your design is cut on fabric
to avoid losing the balance of your garment
when the garment is hanging on a hanger and to
insure proper fit.
3) Pattern grading
specification sheet
Finally, Once your prototype
sample has been made, fitted, corrected and
approved for production, Grading specifications
should be recorded on a grading specification
sheet were your design will be graded into the
many size range categories according to the
type of figure your are working with. A Grading
Specification Sheet is a Sheet containing all
the measurements for all your pattern sizes
including your base size example (M) or (10)
from which the pattern will be graded up or
down according to your own in house
specifications submitted or according to your
client specification.
