PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our product development team can create patterns, simplify designs to go through production smoothly and efficiently, and select and source the best materials for your desired end-use. With our experience and industry knowledge, we can:

  • Provide design expertise to help you make superior products

  • Create patterns and samples in-house

  • Research & source materials and trims

  • Calculate fabric and trim yields to determine order quantities

  • Recommend cost-reducing and problem-solving steps for production

Product development is billed at $200/hr, with a typical project averaging around $3,000 per style from start to finish.

PATTERN MAKING

Our pattern-maker can create custom patterns based on reference samples or conceptual ideas. We use AccuMark, a digital pattern software, to create new patterns, grade and alter existing patterns, and create digital markers that increase fabric efficiency and minimize waste.

3D DIGITAL RENDERING

In addition to creating digital patterns, we have the ability to showcase your patterns in 3D form. We are proud to be one of the only Maryland manufactures with these capabilities. By using this software from AccuMark, we can help reduce the number of potential samples needed in the development process as well as allow for clear visualization of your product.

 

COSTING

Production costs are determined once final samples are created or provided based on garment complexity and production quantities, as well as the number of sizes and thread colors. A higher production volume yields a lower price per unit. Production pricing cannot be provided during the product development stage due to frequent changes during sampling and fittings.

CUTTING & SEWING

Fashions Unlimited specializes in stretch fabrics, utilizing machines such as overlock, single-needle lockstitch, coverstitch, zig-zag, and flatlock. We are happy to work with you to select stitching options that allow for the best possible end product. Our Gerber automatic cutting machine allows for greater accuracy in cutting than manual cutting.

FINISHING

We can offer tagging, bagging, and bulk shipping according to your needs, but cannot offer individual fulfillment.

REPAIR WORK

Repair work may include cutting and sewing, retagging, rebagging, and shipping. Minimums for repairs or label replacements are generally several hundred pieces.
