A DESIGN DIRECTION
Stripes & patterned fabrics
Repeat & scale · visual rhythm · colour contrast
Develop the idea.
Review the pattern at full garment scale before approval. A repeat that works on a blouse may create a very different effect on a larger dress panel.
Protect the final result.
Confirm colourfastness and care with the supplier. Assess dark and light elements together, including after any proposed wash treatment.
Put it into words.
Send the article reference, garment type, colour direction, target quantity and destination. Ask for the confirmed technical sheet and assess a sewn sample before committing to bulk material.
