Most sampling delays come from missing or inconsistent measurements. Start from a graded chart for your market and fit, then adjust — the factory needs centimetres and grade rules, not “medium”.

Measure a garment that fits well, flat, 2 cm below the armhole

Half-chest growth between neighbouring sizes, smallest to largest. Leave blank for standard grading.

How it works

  1. 1Pick the product, the base block (EU, US, Japan or Australia), the fit and the half-chest at M.
  2. 2The grade rules set how much each size steps up or down; leave them blank for standard knit grading or type your own.
  3. 3Export the chart as CSV for your tech pack or print it.

Questions people ask here

Should I give the factory finished or body measurements?

Finished garment measurements, flat. Body measurements plus “regular fit” leave the pattern-maker guessing.

What is a POM?

Point of measure — a named spot on the garment (half-chest, body length, shoulder). Every measurement in your tech pack should map to one.

Can you grade from one sample I send?

Yes. We measure your reference garment, agree the M, and grade the range using the rules above or your own.
