Garment sample size selection starts with the decision each sample must support. A base-size fitting, a grading review and a photograph for a sales listing may require different samples and different approval records. For overseas women’s clothing brands, wholesalers and marketplace sellers buying from China, a sample plan helps connect those requirements with development fees and the later bulk order.
本指南介绍了样本量和数量的选择。女装尺码组示例指南解释了对尺码组进行的检查。在审查定制服装制造服务时，请向工厂确认哪些样品是符合您特定风格和审批流程的。
在命名样本量前，先选择拟合参考
发送目标客户描述、预期穿着宽松度、尺码表及可穿合身参考。确定用于试穿的个人或身体尺寸，以及在相关情况下打算穿的内衣。仅靠尺码标签并不能给工厂一个完整的合身目标。
达成一致，确定哪种尺码能确定初始图案，以及第一次试穿应解决哪些信息。如果买家提供现有的纸样，请确认其尺码指定和审批状态。在样本请求中记录约定的基准大小，以避免后续注释误应用于其他尺寸。
选择额外尺寸以回答具体问题
在解决了基础尺寸问题后，决定哪些其他尺寸需要进行实物审查。请考虑产品在提供尺寸范围内的覆盖范围、开口、比例、闭合和活动需求。请向工厂说明拟议的样品覆盖范围，以及如果某些尺寸未进行实物采样，还会有哪些问题。
没有适用于每件裙子、衬衫和裤子的通用样品尺码清单。买家应就实际系列和结构的评审范围达成一致。在没有明确问题的情况下添加更多样本，可能会增加工作量，同时让重要的匹配问题无法解决。
分别用于匹配、分级和销售样本
对于每个要求的样品，说明其是用于试穿、尺码递进、实际材料批准、摄影还是其他指定用途。记录该阶段替代材料是否可接受，以及哪些结果在实际生产材料使用前无法批准。
摄影样本应能识别是否代表最终产品。如果要求的照片尺寸与批准的合身尺寸不同，应在计划中包含该要求，而不是假设工厂会额外制作一件。协调摄影日期与样品批准，确保照片列表与制作说明保持一致。
| Sample purpose | Size-selection input | Decision to record |
|---|---|---|
| Initial fitting | Target fit reference and proposed base size | Pattern and fit changes to resolve |
| Size progression review | Offered range and style-specific risks | Additional sizes and approval coverage |
| Material and construction approval | Actual materials and final assembly needs | Which sample establishes the bulk reference |
| Photography or selling | Required display size and intended use | Whether the sample matches the final product |
Keep sample quantities separate from bulk size ratios
The number of samples ordered is a development requirement. The bulk assortment is the number of saleable pieces ordered in each style, color and size. Put them in separate tables so a sample request cannot be interpreted as a bulk production instruction.
Ask the factory to confirm garment MOQ and any separate material or trim purchasing minimum for the proposed bulk assortment. Also ask how actual-material sample requirements affect material procurement. A single garment sample may still require sourcing work or a specific component purchase, which should be described in the development quotation.
Request sample fees against an itemized plan
List the purpose, size, color, material status and number of pieces for every sample. Ask which fees cover pattern work, grading, sewing, revisions, materials and courier services. Distinguish a correction to an unresolved sample from a buyer-requested change in design or size range.
The private label sample cost guide provides the development-fee framework. In the size plan, identify whether additional sizes are included or priced separately. Confirm any sample-fee credit and its qualifying bulk-order conditions in writing before treating it as a reduction in purchasing cost.
Link size approval to the bulk quotation
For women’s clothing production in China, ask whether the quoted bulk unit price covers the complete offered size range and approved assortment. Identify any proposed size-related price distinction explicitly. Keep the material, construction, packing and delivery terms aligned when comparing factory quotes.
When a sample revision changes the garment length, volume, lining or other construction detail, ask whether the price basis needs reconfirmation. Release the final size chart and approved sample references together. A price accepted before the product scope was complete should be marked accordingly.
Maintain a sample decision register
Give each sample a style, revision, purpose, size and color reference. Record the date received, review result and open issues. Keep approval comments attached to that reference, and state which version replaces an earlier sample. This helps the buyer and factory trace what has actually been approved.
Before bulk cutting, confirm the final approval scope and any remaining conditions. Preserve the approved references for repeat production, while checking that later material or range changes still match those approvals.
Request a sample-size plan and quotation
Send Mugekoo your tech pack, target size range, fit reference, proposed bulk assortment and sample purposes. Request a garment sampling plan and production quotation asking for recommended review coverage, sample fees, MOQ and bulk unit-price assumptions. Actual sample requirements and production terms need confirmation for the specific style.
