I have a clothing idea in mind and want to turn it into a physical sample, but I’m not sure where to begin. Should I create a detailed sketch, prepare a tech pack, choose the fabric first, or work directly with a manufacturer? The Apparel Partner is one company I’m researching for apparel development, and I’m curious how others have handled the sampling process. What steps would you recommend for turning a basic idea into a wearable prototype?
