Sample Development Services at Trinity Circle
At Trinity Circle, we understand that every successful garment collection begins with precise sample development. Before moving to bulk production, our team provides high-quality samples that allow brands to evaluate design, fit, fabric, and detailing. This stage is crucial for ensuring that the final products meet the highest standards and align perfectly with the brand’s vision.
Our sample development process is designed to transform design concepts into tangible garments. Based on tech packs, digital references, and client specifications, our skilled team of pattern makers, garment technologists, and designers meticulously craft each sample. We ensure that every pattern, seam, and silhouette is perfected, allowing clients to visualize the final product before committing to full-scale production.
For accurate size grading, we can create graded samples according to the client’s specifications. Typically, a minimum of 12–15 samples is required to establish the final product range. During this phase, we finalize the fabric selection, trims, stitching details, and construction methods. This enables us to ensure that the garment will fit perfectly across all sizes while maintaining design integrity and production feasibility.
The craft of pattern making plays a critical role in our sample development process. Our experienced pattern makers use both manual drafting techniques and CAD pattern software to translate design concepts into precise patterns. This ensures accuracy, consistency, and scalability, which are essential for transitioning from sample to bulk production.
Our creative team works alongside the technical experts to evaluate style, proportion, drape, and aesthetics. They provide input on fabric behavior, trims placement, embroidery, prints, and finishing details to ensure that the samples not only meet technical requirements but also reflect the brand’s creative vision and market appeal.
It is important to note that sample development charges are separate from production costs. This is because developing new outfits involves significant design thinking, craftsmanship, and skilled labor. The time-intensive process of creating samples, grading, adjusting patterns, and finalizing designs requires the expertise of highly trained designers, pattern makers, and garment technologists.
