Name the garment task
Tell the team what you plan to make and where the pattern must work. A coat front, patch pocket and trouser waistband are different sample questions. State whether the goal is a subtle overall appearance, visible direction, alignment at a selected seam or a deliberate change of direction. The garment trial tool can help record a part, intention, sample identity and observed result.
Separate the requirements
List material composition constraints separately from the appearance direction. Add target weight and usable width only if you have actual requirements; blank values remain open. Describe the desired colour relationship and keep a physical colour reference available when possible. State quantities per colour with units, rather than combining the whole order into an unexplained total. Ask the team to propose an article against these fields.
Ask for an appropriate sample
A small swatch can answer a surface question. A larger cutting can help compare the pattern across a panel. Sample metreage may be needed for a sewn garment detail or prototype. Describe the task and ask what size and stage can be supplied. Sample availability, applicable minimums, charges and timing need confirmation for the specific request. The website does not supply those commercial terms.
Keep the complete brief with your message
Use the builder to copy, download or print your English text. Long email drafts use a shorter opening message; paste the complete downloaded or copied brief into the email. WhatsApp links use a short summary, so add the full brief yourself. Contacts entered in the builder remain in page memory unless you send them through your own chosen channel. Opening a message is not proof of delivery or receipt.
Your decision and record
| Check | Decide | Keep with the reference |
|---|---|---|
| Garment | Explain the part and intended visual result. | End use, part and trial questions. |
| Specifications | Separate hard constraints from open preferences. | Composition, GSM, width and colour reference. |
| Sample | Request the size and stage needed for the trial. | Swatch, larger cutting or sample metreage. |
| Message | Paste the full brief and attach your own evidence. | Your sent message and subsequent response. |
Questions for this step
Can I leave the reference list empty?
Yes. A garment use or a project description is enough to create a brief. Ask the team to recommend article options against those requirements.
Are my photographs uploaded through the tool?
No. A photo chosen for the observation board stays in the browser. Add photographs as attachments in your own email or messaging application when you contact the team.
How do I know Fred received my enquiry?
Check your own sent-message records and the team's reply. The site cannot establish receipt from a contact link being clicked.
