Despite the importance of “specing” in the industry, fashion schools don’t focus on this skill nearly enough. So if the employer doesn’t have to train you how to measure garments on the job, you’re more likely to get the position (and get paid more too). We’ve completely updated our “How to Spec a Garment” eBook, to prepare you with the fundamentals you need to spec any type of garment. You’ll also become familiar with common industry measurement terms, giving you the boost of confidence you need to stay ahead of the competition.

Since there is no universal standard when it comes to measuring garments, each company has their own system for creating specs. Our e-book will leave you with the ability to easily adapt to company standards. Even after you learn how to measure clothing, this eBook serves as a handy reference when on the job.

With the My Practical Skills: How to Spec a Garment e-book, you’ll be able to:

  • Measure various types of apparel including tops, jackets, dresses, pants, skirts, bodysuits, and bras
  • Use measurements to fill out fashion spec sheets and tech packs
  • Attend and conduct fittings on sample garments
  • Communicate garment spec & fit requirements to patternmakers and factories
  • Adapt easily to company standards when on the job

Benefits

  • Easily modifiable to meet your needs
  • Linked pages, so there’s no need to type redundant information
