Fabric
Sourcing:
Things To Remember Before Making Your Own Clothes
As an emerging fashion designer or someone into this business, one of the biggest challenges you'll
ever meet is sourcing the designer fabrics and dressing material. There have been the people, who
searched for years, ending up in nothing or simply few sources which they might have chosen half-
heartedly. If you have planned to launch a new designer collection that entices your targeted
customers, it's of utmost importance to consider few necessary things for fabric sourcing. Here are
some tips on how to approach fabric sourcing:
 Do not stick to a fabric which you think is perfect – Designer fabrics are both innovative
and inspiring. Sometimes, they generate new ideas and help you set up the theme of each
line. While with each season and evolving trends, some websites spotlight some
extraordinary fashion fabric selections for fashion design projects and style makeovers, why
to stick to same fabric for making your own clothes? You can begin once you see
something trendy that suits your budget and works best for you.
 Make sure that you'll be able to re-order- Sometimes designers buy prints and fabrics
from the suppliers, use these in their collection, show it to the retailers and get orders. At the
exact moment when they need it, they're shocked to see that exact prints or that specific
fabric isn't in their stock anymore and so they can't re-order. Make sure that your supplier
has enough to meet your needs at any moment.
 Do some online research and check out the sample- Most of the reputable fabric suppliers
have websites. Life becomes easier when you checkout such websites thoroughly. Order the
swatches online; good suppliers won't mind it! Before ordering the sample yardage, feel the
fabric and make sure that you won't have any terrible experience later on.
 Confirm the functionality of design- There is a huge difference between beautiful
sketches or flat illustrations and building the same in 3-D reality using the fabric who have
chosen. Create prototypes to wear test fabrics within your chosen style. Sometimes, the
fabric doesn't hang or drape the way your envisioned. To see the things in a better light,
confirm the functionality of the design.
With each passing day, the fashion world is evolving. While your customers are excited about
what's going to be the next hottest thing, you may be figuring out what will be the perfect selection
for that. On a reputable site, you can view some of the latest collection of fabric and design
materials. You'll also find and buy some other fashion fabric online that will be perfect for many
projects and work well with your brand. Don't just choose something that entices you; make sure
that it matches up well with your project. Before making your own clothes, be wary about your
choice of fabric and supplier.
