Development and Design
The first step when developing garments is to understand the style, target market and distribution of the brand. CRW Design will discuss and work with customers to start the process.
Garment Development
Our design team will work with you to develop your design ideas, providing guidance and support in:
Understanding the style of the garment and target market
Helping to identify the best type of knit fabric as well as the sewing process
Determining the right sewing techniques
Garment fittings and adjustments
Fabric Sourcing
We work with many stock fabric suppliers to provide easy access and support to choose and source the best fabrics for your designs.
We also partner with Canadian Fabric Knitters to provide you with an option of developing your fabric and choosing yarn, fabric weight, content and colour. This option can be very cost-effective for customers looking to take their customization to the next level.
Style Design
We provide customers with the option to customize how their garment will look once it’s created. By changing the stitching colour, the type of stitching, how a neckline will finish, and adding things like zippers, pockets, darts and vents you can change a garment’s shape and fit. This also opens up a wide variety of decorating options that are not often available on a finished garment.
Trim, Labels, Tabs and Hangtags
When customizing your garment, trims such as buttons, zippers, drawcord, labelling, heat transfers and tagging are all easy ways to make your garment more unique. Having your company name and/or logo/brand sewn to your garment provides a higher value to consumers. We work with customers to develop and provide location options for labelling garments, trim options, as well as design ideas for hem tags and hang tags.
Decorating / Embellishing
Decorating your garment can be an important way to distinguish your brand from others. Although we do not offer printing or embellishing in-house, we work with customers to choose the best decorating technique(s) based on brand design, garment style and budget.
Once these decisions are made, we work with customers to develop their patterns.
