Check your sample before you approve it
Upload a photo, or tick what looks off, and see the likely cause and the fix to ask for. Measure the sample flat against your spec and every point outside tolerance gets flagged. You get a verdict and a comment list ready to send the factory.
Upload a photo of the sample
Optional · freeOn a person works best, front on, arms down, plain background. Add a back or side view if you have one. We’ll mark what we see, tick it below and email you the read.
What do you see?
Tick everything that looks off. Each one shows the likely cause, what to measure and the fix to ask for.
Measure it flat
Lay the sample flat with no stretching and measure the same way your spec does (half chest or full). Inches; fractions like 22 1/2 work. Leave any row blank to skip it.

| Waist width | — | |||
| Bottom sweep | — | |||

Want a second pair of eyes on the fit?
A technical designer or pattern maker can run a fit session, mark up the pattern and write the corrections so the next round lands.
The causes and fixes are the common ones to check first, not a diagnosis of your garment. Confirm them against your measurements, and when a fit problem survives a round of changes, have a pattern maker look at the pattern itself.
