Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of tops can you create prototype patterns for?
A: We specialize in creating prototype patterns for a wide variety of tops, including crop tops, ponchos, tank tops, halter tops, peplum tops, tunic tops, wrap tops, and peasant tops. If you have a specific design in mind, we can work with you to bring it to life.
Q: How do I get started with your prototype pattern-making service?
A: Simply send us a message through our contact page with details about your design. We'll review your request, and once we understand your needs, we'll guide you through the next steps, including submitting any concept drawings or samples you may have.
Q: What if I don’t have a physical sample, only a concept drawing?
A: If you have a concept drawing, we require you to provide a block pattern, reference pattern, or digital pattern design as a base. We will develop your prototype using this base pattern to ensure accuracy and consistency in the final product. If you don't have a base pattern, we can assist you in creating one before moving forward with your design.
Q: How long does it take to create a prototype pattern for a top?
A: The turnaround time varies depending on the complexity of the design and our current workload. However, we prioritize efficiency and will provide you with an estimated completion time once we have all the necessary details. Expedited services are also available if you have urgent deadlines.
Q: Can you handle complex designs in prototype pattern making, such as ruffles, draped collars, or engineered pockets?
A: Yes, we are equipped to handle complex designs in prototype pattern making. Our team has experience with intricate details and can create prototype patterns that incorporate these features with precision.
Q: Will your prototype patterns work with my manufacturing systems?
A: Yes, we ensure that all our prototype patterns are compatible with your manufacturing systems. We use digital pattern-making tools that are widely accepted in the industry, and we can convert patterns to various formats, including DXF, for seamless integration.
Q: What is the cost of your prototype pattern-making service?
A: The cost depends on the complexity of the design and the amount of labor involved. We provide an approximate cost for non-engineered prototype patterns, and more detailed designs are charged according to the time and effort required. We’ll give you a clear estimate before starting the project.
Q: What if I need changes after the prototype pattern is created?
A: We understand that adjustments may be needed. We offer revision services to fine-tune your prototype patterns to perfection, ensuring they meet your exact needs.
Q: Do you offer prototype pattern-making services for products other than tops?
A: While we specialize in tops, we also offer prototype pattern-making services for other types of garments. Please contact us with your specific needs, and we’ll let you know if we can assist.
Q: Are there any prototype patterns you don’t make?
