Sampling flow

Proto Tech pack – The initial informative sheet

which encompasses all specifications required for

the development of a proto sample

Proto sample :- made on substitute fabrics, using

available accessories and then checked on the

dress form. Further the quality checker checks the

sample, and makes the necessary changes

pertaining to the fit, the drape, the style details

etc.

Fit sample : fit of the garment assumes importance

here. It is usually done on actual fabrics and

substitute trims and accessories and sent to the buyer

for necessary alterations to be made.

Size set samples : Size Set Sample - done as per the

buyer requests and equivalent to the pre production

sample except that it is done in all the sizes.

Top of Production (TOP) samples : done on the

actual fabric using the actual trims and the fit has to

be perfect. It is simply a example to the actual

production.
