Patterns
Our studio team in the USA also drafts and grades production patterns, delivered as DXF-AAMA and PDF files. Each service has its own price; the package below costs less than the parts.
Base-size production pattern, one correction round after your fit sample. 5–7 working days.
From your base pattern: graded nest, graded files, grade rule table, graded spec. 3–5 working days.
Quoted by email with the service they go with.
All prices in USD, per style. Need graded measurements only, no pattern files? That is size grading at $89 per style. Scope confirmed by email before any work starts.

Standards
A tech pack can list the certifications and compliance standards your buyers expect, spelled out so whichever factory you choose knows exactly what to meet.
We never claim a certification applies unless you have confirmed it. The spec states the requirement; the certificate itself comes from the certifying body and your supply chain.
Names shown as text only: they describe requirements for your garment, not a certification of our studio.
Inside the studio
The tools of the job: paper patterns, swatches, trims and the samples brands send us to spec from.

Three ways to get a spec in front of a factory. The difference shows up when the factory has to quote from it.

A rough sketch or reference image, your target size range, and any construction details you already know. Nothing needs to be polished: filling in the gaps is part of the job. If you already have a sample garment, send photos of that too.
Get in touch and we clarify it. That is covered inside your included revision rounds, not billed as a separate call.
