Good manufacturing decisions begin with a clear brief, realistic expectations and the right production process. This guide explains the practical considerations for your next clothing project.

01 / 06

Start with your own fit measurements

International size labels are not universally standardised. Instead of assuming one UK size always equals a particular US or EU size, establish the body measurements and intended fit for your products. Explain whether your garments are slim, regular or relaxed.

02 / 06

Separate body and garment measurements

A body chart helps shoppers choose a size; a finished-garment chart explains the actual clothing dimensions. Label each clearly. Include bust or chest, waist, hip, shoulder, sleeve and length where relevant. Specify centimetres and inches accurately.

03 / 06

Measure every garment consistently

Create a written measuring method for each point of measure. For example, state whether bust is measured flat across the garment and doubled, and where sleeve length starts. Use the same technique for samples and production inspections.

04 / 06

Test sizes before creating conversion tables

Fit samples should be checked across the intended range, especially for fitted garments or embellished Eastern wear. Conversion tables are approximate guides, not guarantees. Include a recommendation to compare personal measurements with the product chart.

05 / 06

Make online sizing information easy to use

Provide a measurement illustration, fit notes, model garment size where available and an explanation of ease. Collect reasons for exchanges and revise charts when repeated fit issues appear. Ensure local consumer disclosures remain accurate.

06 / 06

Share sizing specifications with Sareenaa

Boutiques and fashion founders can submit size charts, silhouettes and sample requirements to Sareenaa Apparel at Sareenaa Apparel website for project review through its Pakistan-based manufacturing partners.
