Walk and sit in the sample with pockets empty. Check whether the pleats pull open while standing, the side pockets gape or the waistband tips backwards. Mark corrections on the worn garment.
Create repeatable garment measurements with defined points, flat and stretched methods, consistent units, tolerances, and clear sample records.
