The traditional fit review process is one of the most time-consuming and expensive aspects of getting a product from the design stage to final production for retail.
Before the fit session
During the fit session
A live fit model tries on each physical sample in order for it to be perfected by a team of product designers, developers and pattern-makers who take pictures of the garment on the model, direct corrections to one another and make notes.
After the fit session
Back at their desks, photos have to be uploaded to a computer, edited and uploaded again to a PLM system, and notes have to be typed up or transferred.
This process is followed for every sample. In addition, samples are time consuming and expensive to procure and track.
