1. Take the technical specification (brief) and the product description. Compare the appearance of the finished sample with the photos and sketches in the brief.
|
2. Measure the model’s body: bust, waist, and hips. Compare these measurements with those in the brief. If the sizes differ, be sure to note which ones and by how much, so this information can be passed to the pattern maker.
|
3. Put the garment on correctly — shoulder and side seams should align with the corresponding points on the body.
|
4. Insert all additional adjustment elements (for example, shoulder pads or bra inserts), if they are provided.
|
5. Fasten buttons or secure with pins (if the garment is not finished yet). Take into account the width of overlaps, plackets, and other pattern details. For pants and skirts, be sure to secure the waistband.
|
6. Take three photos of the garment on the model: front, back, and side.
|
7. Pin areas that need to be taken in, and mark with chalk the places where fabric needs to be added.
|
8. Take another three photos with the pinned seams: front, back, and side.
|
9. Measure the pinned areas and write down exact details — where and by how much fabric should be taken in or added.
|
10. Check the fit of the garment in motion:- For shoulder garments, ask the model to raise and lower their arms, and to stretch them forward to check freedom of movement and back width.
- For pants and skirts, ask the model to sit down, stand up, and walk a bit.
- If there are any comments, note them, take three more photos (front, back, side), and pass them to the pattern maker.
