Pattern Making and Garment Sampling in Italy

Pattern makers, grading and sample rooms in Prato and Florence, so the batch fits the way you intended.

A pattern mistake costs the most once it reaches production: a poor fit is repeated in every single piece. That is why we take each style through a pattern maker, a prototype and a fitting before you order the run. We work with pattern makers and sample rooms in Prato and Florence. You send a sketch, a photo or a reference garment, we relay your fit comments and show you every sample on video, on a dress form or on a model.

What we do

01

Tech pack

We turn your sketches, measurements, fabrics and details into a clear brief in Italian for the workshop.

02

Base pattern

The pattern maker drafts the pattern in your base size, taking into account the fabric and the fit you want.

03

Prototype

We sew the first sample, in a similar fabric if needed, to check the silhouette.

04

Fitting and corrections

We show you the sample on video, record your corrections and pass them to the pattern maker.

05

Grading

Once the fit is approved, the pattern is graded across your size chart.

06

Sales samples

We produce a set of samples in the final fabric for photo shoots, showrooms or buyers.

Why it works

Nothing lost in translation

We pass your comments to the pattern maker in precise, technical Italian.

Video, not guesswork

We film every fitting, so you see how the garment moves, not just a still photo.

Terms agreed upfront

Sample costs, the number of fittings and the handover of patterns are fixed before work begins.

A clear path to production

Where possible, the sample is made by the same factory that will produce the run.

FAQ

How many fittings are usually needed?

Most often one or two. Complex styles such as jackets or coats may need more rounds.

Can I send a garment whose fit I like?

Yes. The pattern maker uses it as a reference for fit and measurements, while the design stays yours.

Can I order samples only, without a production run?

Yes. The workshop quotes the cost and timing of the samples in advance, and we agree them with you before work starts.

In what format will I receive the patterns?

It depends on the workshop: paper patterns or digital files. We agree on the format and the handover before starting.
