The Secret to Turning Sketches Into Retail-Ready Garments
Every fashion brand starts the same way, with an idea on paper.
But transforming a sketch into a finished garment that’s ready to sell takes more than creativity. It takes precision, planning, and the right production partner.
At Outsourced Fashion Consulting (OFC) in Los Angeles, we specialize in helping brands turn inspiration into reality through a proven, end-to-end development and manufacturing process. Here’s how we do it.
1. It Starts With a Tech Pack
Your sketch is just the beginning. A tech pack is the detailed blueprint that translates your creative vision into technical instructions.
It includes measurements, construction notes, seam placements, materials, trims, and finishing details. Without it, factories are left to guess, which leads to costly mistakes.
At OFC, our technical team creates precise tech packs that ensure every stitch aligns with your design intent and brand standards.
2. Smart Sourcing Brings the Vision to Life
Choosing the right fabric and trims is one of the most important parts of product development.
We guide you through sourcing high-quality materials that fit your price point, function, and brand identity. Our network of trusted domestic and global suppliers helps you find the perfect match for your collection without the delays or guesswork.
3. Pattern Making and Sampling for the Perfect Fit
Once your materials are selected, our pattern makers and sample team bring your garment to life. This stage is where design meets reality.
We create patterns that account for fabric stretch, fit, and movement, followed by sample runs that refine shape and proportion.
The goal isn’t just to make it look right, it’s to make it fit right.
4. Quality Control at Every Step
From the first sample to final production, quality control ensures consistency.
Our in-house team checks for fit, construction accuracy, and finish. Problems are caught early, not after production is complete. That’s how we help brands launch confidently and on schedule.
5. Production You Can Count On
When your design is approved, we move into CMT (Cut, Make, Trim) and finishing, the full production process that transforms your vision into retail-ready garments.
Every label, stitch, and tag is handled with care so that your final product is ready to ship, sell, and shine.
From Vision to Reality
Turning sketches into finished garments isn’t about luck. It’s about process.
At OFC, we make that process seamless. Whether you’re launching your first collection or scaling an established brand, our LA-based team is here to make sure your ideas reach the market with quality, speed, and precision.
