FITTING

When a sample is finished, the fabric type, garment proportions, and construction details are usually assessed. However, in order to judge comfort, beauty, and, most crucially, fit, the garment must be tried on a model. A fit session is a meeting between the design and technical teams where they assess the fit of a collection. Fit samples (samples sent from the factory at various stages of development to assess the fit) are sent from the factory.
