Build the Product Brief

Before making a garment, we need to understand what the product is intended to be—not only what it looks like in a reference image.

Turn visual ideas into technical garment decisions
01

Silhouette → Measurements

Translate the intended proportion into measurable garment dimensions.

02

Confirm the decoration method, artwork dimensions, and placement.

The First Sample Is a Physical Test

The development sample brings the decisions made on paper into one physical garment. Its purpose is to reveal what works, what does not, and what still needs adjustment.

01

Does the Proportion Work?

Review the overall silhouette, balance, length, and volume.

FIT & BALANCE
02

Does the Material Work?

Review the fabric structure, drape, comfort, and appearance.

FABRIC BEHAVIOR
03

Does the Construction Work?

Review whether the important details function and sit correctly.

DETAIL & FUNCTION
04

Does the Product Feel Right?

Review the complete garment against the original product direction.
