For fashion designers who need to have their samples produced for an upcoming line, or to add to their line, the custom designers at MBIC offers quality sample production for all types of designs at affordable prices. Years of experience has taught our sample makers that detail is extremely important in samples.

Contracting us to produce your fine samples will benefit you in many ways:

We will discuss any potential sewing problems that could arise in production;

We will discuss types of fabric and trim suitable for your design, as well as color. Tell us your story . . . we will help you to keep in budget based on fabric choices and styles. We feel it is very important to find the right fabrics, especially for your first line.

As Image Consultants, we will advise you on body proportions, as well as flattering styles for each figure and body type. This miracle of styling is necessary for balanced proportions, good fit and quality - an important aspect of producing a sellable line.

A scheduled initial consultation will allow you and our design staff to understand the design that is to be translated into a pattern and then into a first sample. A flat of the garment should be sketched with finished dimensions and sewing details, topstitching, zipper length, etc. If you are not able to provide these extra details, our design consultants will further assist you in this area.

Prices for samples are determined by style. As a note, sewing your first sample is expected to be two to three times the price of sewing a garment in production. Our prices will include our consultation fee that will be applied to the price of sample, if we are contracted.
