Beginning to End, or somewhere in between...
Melbourne Fashion Lab has got you covered from the beginning to the end, or somewhere in between.
CONSULTING // DESIGN REALISATION // SOURCING
Your first point of contact is to book a consult with us, and discuss your needs – we can then make recommendations on what steps you need to take next.
We can assist you with Fabric / Trim sourcing, as we have established connections with fabric wholesalers that can provide a great range of Australian made options.
Got an idea for your collection but not sure on the technical elements? Does it need a zipper? Does it need buttons? We can give you feedback and turn your ideas into working technical friendly drawings that manufacturers can understand.
PRINT DEVELOPMENT// CUSTOM FABRIC PRINTING
If you have a design in mind, sit down with our textile artist & she will turn it into a fabric repeat.
We can then arrange custom fabric printing on your behalf, starting as small as 1 meter.
Send us your inspirational images & advise what fabric, and we can arrange the rest.
TECH PACKS // SPECS // RANGEBOARDS
We can create Tech Packs, which are industry based set of documents that help translate your ideas for a product into a manufacturer ready set of instructions.
Tech Packs include:
The Tech Pack is created based on your sketches/garments provided to us and typically include:
- Front Page with Front & Back Sketch, Style Number, Size Range, Fabric Details, and Accessory/Trim Information
- Stitching & Seam Detail Page
- Labels & Tags Page to include where the labels are placed, care instructions for labels, and where swing tags are attached
- Point of Measure Page shows all key measuring points & measured to your garment
Range Boards
A range board is a colored technical drawing page, showing all your products with style numbers, fabrics and really relay your cohesive collection. The importance of the Range Board is to see all your garments in one place and to highlight if anything is missing.
PATTERNMAKE // SAMPLE MAKE // GRADING
Once you have your tech packs ready to go, we can then get to work and create your garments from your Tech Pack & reference garments.
We can create the base size pattern, and arrange a sample for your approval.
We can also arrange a fitting with a model if you’d require, and make pattern changes.
We can supply final samples in correct fabric & print, followed by grading your patterns to a full size set.

Once you have your capsule collections, sit down with our PR & Marketing Guru to work out a marketing plan for your business, which may involve pitching your products to magazines, contacting newspapers to get your details published, or digital strategy such as promoting your brand through social media.
