First, clothing sampling is based on the selected clothing style plus the "additions" and "modifications" required by the individual. You can also make clothing samples based on the clothing you design. Clothing sampling is also an important part of the entire clothing customization process.
Garment pattern making is a part of modern clothing engineering: modern clothing engineering consists of three parts: style design, structural design, and process design. Garment pattern making is one of the structural designs. It is not only the extension and development of style, but also the preparation and foundation of process design.
Second, the difference between clothing sampling and pattern making can be seen from the two points of position and importance in the process:
Looking at the difference from the position of the process
Clothing Pattern making usually involves making samples of clothing styles and paper patterns. Proofing basically comes to the sewing part, which is the end of the entire garment making process.
Clothing sampling is also an indispensable part of the entire clothing customization process. The pattern making process of clothing comes before clothing proofing.
2. Look at the difference in terms of importance
Pattern making is an important part of both clothing sampling and pattern making, and it is necessary to make the pattern first before making the pattern.
Extended information:
Clothing design includes
1. Creative design (style drawing, including expression of style, fabric, color, etc.).
2. Structural design (also called plate making, pattern processing or pattern making, the specific specifications and sizes of each part).
3. Process design (also called parking space, the sewing process of a finished product). Among them, pattern making plays a connecting role in the middle and is the most important link in the entire clothing design.
Pattern making focuses on three things: style, size, and detailed calculations. Surface, lining, lining, complete craftsmanship. The clothing designer's manuscript cannot accurately express the three-dimensional real clothing effect, let alone perform functional experiments. In order to ensure the movement, comfort, and beauty of the clothing, the first product sample must be trial-produced before the industrial production of modern clothing.
Domestic pattern-making methods
Chinese-style clothing: It is a garment made from the standing structure of the human body with arms flat and legs slightly split since ancient times. It is linear, monolithic, and flat. The cutting method is to fold the fabric into four and cut off the excess fabric at the armpits and waist.
Make the piece of clothing into a cross shape, then cut it in the middle of the front body as a placket, and trim out a peach-shaped collar. In terms of part structure and body space, it does not pay as much attention to the shaping of the human body's bust, waist, and hips as Western clothing does. This method was followed for many years until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Short-inch method and chest-measurement method: These two methods were spread by Japanese tailors who came to my country to open shops and factories in the 1930s. The short-inch method is to measure multiple parts of the human body above the chest to obtain the dimensions of all parts required for cutting, and then make patterns according to these dimensions to achieve a more precise fit.
The chest measurement method uses the net bust circumference of the human body as the base to allocate the proportional size of each part. Also called size cutting method. Due to the different body types of the human body in our country, the bust circumference is smaller, so it is usually calculated by subtracting one number from half the bust circumference.
Types of clothing samples (trade terms):
Generally divided into: sewing samples, display samples, pre-production samples, copyright samples, bulk samples, photography samples, printing samples, Embroidery patterns.
Sewing sample: Surface accessories can be substituted and used to confirm the sewing method.
Display samples: Noodles and auxiliary materials are used for exhibitions according to customer requirements.
Pre-production samples: The fabrics are made of formal fabrics for bulk production, and are used for customer confirmation before bulk production.
Copyright pattern: Patented pattern, used for customers to apply for copyright and needs to be kept confidential.
Large sample: for customers to inspect before shipment. Generally, bulk sample can only be shipped after customer confirmation.
Photographic sample: The literal meaning can be understood. It is used in magazines and photographic samples.
Printing sample and embroidery pattern: After receiving the customer's printing and embroidery information, we will print a confirmation sample according to the printing and embroidery instructions to the customer for confirmation. After confirmation, mass production can be started.
