OEM / ODM
Identify the changes
Keep the reference and revision notes together. Separate essential requirements from details you are open to discussing.
SAMPLE REFERENCE / A CUSTOM STARTING POINT
Shape & drape
Make it your brief.
Describe the shape you want, and how the garment should move.
Visual references for discussion · No fixed stock or standard specification

01 / WHAT MATTERS TO YOU?
Keep what matters.
Mark what changes.
A reference can express a shape before you have a complete specification. Identify the neckline, waist position, length and volume you want to keep, then mark what you would change.
Describe the intended use and the balance between structure and movement. A photograph cannot confirm fabric composition, weight or how a new sample will perform.
Build a brief from this reference ↗Discussion points, not product specifications
- Front and back references, or a sketch with the main proportions
- Target length, waist position and fit measurements where known
- Fabric feel and movement, lining or coverage needs, and details to change
These references are not confirmed current supply, inventory or evidence of a completed customer order.
02 / MATERIALS, FIT & DETAILS
A visual cue.
A specific question.
Material behaviour, pattern development, lining and construction need to be reviewed together before a sample scope is agreed.
Describe the effect you want and identify any non-negotiable details. Unknown information can stay open for review; you do not need a product number to start.

A second reference for gathered detail and how fabric falls.
03 / FROM REFERENCE TO AGREED SCOPE
Clarify first.
Then plan the sample.
Review feasibility
Materials, construction, fit, branding and development support need individual assessment. A visible detail is not a guaranteed customization option.
Confirm before proceeding
Agree sample scope, responsibilities and review points. Record the approved version before discussing a production commitment.
Minimum order requirements are reviewed by style, fabric and customization scope. Quotation is prepared after project details are confirmed. Lead time is reviewed based on sample confirmation and order requirements.
