4 Reasons to Always Buy a Fabric Swatch First – Sewcity

Do you want to be guaranteed that you will be 100 percent satisfied with your online purchase? Ordering Swatch is the best way to understand the fabric and its feel fall before making a runway theme which further is the process for garment productionSometimes we are in a situation where being ‘time bound’ is on the top of our priority list and we just can’t afford to wait for swatch.

So here are some tips which can help.

  1. Seeing colors: Colors on the display of computer desktop might slightly differ from the original color due photography & effects as there are too many variations on mobile app & mobile settings. So the idea of ordering a swatch is like feeling and buying the exact fabric when exact color specification is paramount criteria.
  2. Feeling the texture: Texture of a fabric is very important before deciding on garment construction. Manufacturing it mainly depends on the seasonal collection of a particular season for which it is designed. We try our level best to give you the most appropriate explanation of the fabric’s texture through photos and description, but sometimes you may want to have a feel of it for a complete satisfaction (for example- what is soft to us may be scratchy to you & vice versa) So that depends on different perceptions.
  3. Describing colors: Color is the most important and quite sensitive factor, when it comes to designing a garment for a fashion product. Exact color combination is the heart of designing, which gives life to the finished product. At Shamal Designs we keep on contemplating and brainstorming on the colours of fabric when we describe and write for any product copy. Would you describe a fabric as cherry red or blood red?” Yeah we actually relate with such references to better describe our fabrics. We hold each fabric to observe its strength so that we can understand the color depth after the dying process and use Pantone Fashion color Guide to pinpoint an appropriate color name.
  4. Determining the weight of the fabric: Accurately describing the weight of fabric is not as easy as we think. Each fabric goes through lab process to be studied at the grey stage of product and lab test for the best results in its construction process & strength. Then it is approved for production. We specify in detail the GSM of fabric as well the warp & weft of fabric along with its clearly visible & well described photograph.

So if you’re worried about the fabrics being sold before the swatch arrives, we’re the sole manufacturers. We not only manufacture the fabric but also customize it according to your requirements.
