Shirt and dress tech packs · $299 per style

Shirt and dress tech pack, ready for your factory.

Wovens fail quietly, at the collar, the placket, the waistband and the hem. We spec the interlining and fusing, button spacing, seam types, waist and sweep, so the factory does not fill the gaps with its defaults.

Where it goes wrong

Where wovens fail: collar and waist.

These are the parts that carry several decisions at once. Leave one open and the factory makes it with its own default.

Button-up shirt + A-line dress · FrontRisk points
12345

  1. Collars that bubble after pressing

    The collar and cuffs are the fused parts of a shirt. If the interlining weight and fusing are not named, the factory uses its own and the collar can bubble or go soft.

    In the spec collar type, stand height, point length, interlining weight, fusible or sewn-in, for leaf, stand and cuff.

  2. Placket spacing and buttonholes guessed

    Button count, spacing and buttonhole direction are small numbers that show on every unit. Guessed, they drift from size to size.

    In the spec placket width, button size, count and spacing, buttonhole direction, gauntlet button on the sleeve placket.

  3. Armholes overlocked by default

    A side seam gets specced flat-felled, the armhole gets forgotten, and the line overlocks it because that is faster. Turn the sleeve inside out and it shows.

    In the spec seam type per seam (flat-felled, single-needle), stitches per inch, topstitch margins at collar, cuff, placket and yoke.

  4. A waist that gapes

    Rise and band shape are one decision. A straight band cut for a high waist stands away from the body at the back, however well it is sewn.

    In the spec waist position, straight or contour band, faced or separate band, closure type, placement and zip length.

  5. Hem and lining that hang wrong

    A flared skirt's sweep grows faster than its waist, and a lining is a second garment with its own numbers. Measure only the shell and the factory guesses the rest.

    In the spec sweep graded on its own rule, hem allowance and finish, lining drafted to its own POM and hemmed above the shell.

Numbers match the balloons on the drawing. Source: our shirt and skirt tech pack guide.

Points of measure

Nine points across two styles.

Wovens do not stretch to forgive a number. Every point gets a base size, a grade and a tolerance; the cuff and the waist carry the tightest.

Measured flat. A shirt pack typically runs 12 to 16 points (armhole, cuff opening, yoke and back length join these); a skirt adds hip, hip drop and pleat depth where relevant.
  • A common shirt grade steps the chest most, the shoulder and sleeve less, the collar least.
  • Sweep is the number that proves an A-line or flared silhouette, so it grades on its own rule.
  • A lined dress or skirt gets a lining POM: waist, hip, length and sweep.

In the pack

What your woven pack actually contains.

The standard sections, with the collar, placket, cuff, waistband and lining detail wovens need.

01 Flats and views

Front and back drawn to proportion, with the woven details called out.

  • Front and back flats, yoke and back pleats
  • Collar and stand, placket and cuff details
  • Darts, panel seams and waist seam on dresses
  • Pleats drawn with fold direction, vents or slits placed

02 Construction

Seam by seam, so the shirt or dress is not built the fastest way.

  • Flat-felled or overlocked, seam by seam; single-needle where it shows
  • Stitches per inch
  • Fusing areas: collar leaf and stand, cuffs, placket, waistband
  • Waistband: straight or contour, faced or separate, closure
  • Hem allowance and finish; lining attached or free-hanging

03 Trims

Buttons, zips and interlinings, named precisely.

  • Buttons: size, material, count, spacing
  • Interlining: weight, fusible or sewn-in, per part
  • Zip: invisible or exposed, brand, length, placement
  • Hook-and-bar or top button on waistbands
  • Labels: main, care, size, position

04 Bill of materials

One line per component, so two quotes for “cotton” cannot hide different cloth.

Leaving the collar and cuff interlining unspecced. Fusing depends on the shell fabric, so we name the interlining weight and whether it is fusible or sewn-in, matched to your weave.

A button-up typically needs around 12 to 16 points of measure: chest, waist, hem, across shoulder, sleeve length, armhole, collar length, cuff height, cuff opening, yoke width and body length front and back.

Five things per pleat: type (knife, box or inverted), depth, direction, count, and pressed or soft. The fold direction is drawn on the flat, and pleat depth times count has to agree with the waist measurement.

Yes. The lining is a second garment with its own waist, hip, length and sweep, and its hem sits 1–2 cm above the shell hem so it never shows.
