How to Get Your Ideas Made Into Clothes (Starting a Fashion Company Series)

Not all samples are created equal! There are a lot of different kinds of samples and they serve many different purposes within a fashion company! This video goes over how to take a random idea in your head and go through all the steps to get it made into an actual garment you can wear! And then I go through the sampling process on the way to production.

Zoe, I've dreamt of being a fashion designer from a child. I attempted my fashion career some years ago without really doing proper research, etc. That said I didn't do as well as I'd like. Watching your videos have been so incredibly informative that I've decided to try again - this time I can only be successful. Yay!!! Thank you for your consistent hard work! Blessings

Great video! Thank you so much. I would love more videos on making my own designs/garments. I am a plus size woman who never gets clothing to fit properly. If it fits somewhat well, the color is accentuating the obvious, (and not in a flattering way). I would love to make my own clothing, and clothing for others that flatters and is basically unrestricted.I think your videos could just open up my fashion experience for me. Thank you again.

Wow!! I'm speechless in the form you explained and the best part is, I understood every word you said. You have a way in speaking to people at least in my opinion. I'm just a person that loves to sew and loves to learn much more professionally than just having someone explain what a sewing machine needle is. I'm beginning to design my own clothes now (just for me) because some designs out there, well, do not fit my style unless I'm 20 and a size 0. I'll admit I am what the fashion industry calls large size I'm a 16 and either the fashion industry doesn't care how we look or just wants to poke fun trying to dress us as if the circus just arrived in town with large bright colors, I'm surprised the clown nose and shoes where not included with the outfit. I thank you very much for what you do helping us to understand about fashion, fabrics, etc. I am a subscriber now..YOU INSPIRE ME. Thanks again

It's not that different. Every designer has different skills so you build your career emphasizing your skills. You don't need to order the fabric in advance. You don't make samples, you make the gown. You should still create a tech pack to organize yourself and communicate with your client.

How can I know if I establish my size 36 EU(or US4) based on those measurements, it can fit average customer with size 36? what if the customer has bigger bust but smaller hips? what could be the best reference for deciding the sizing?
