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.
