Services

  • Technical review of your existing designs, fabrics and finishes to assess feasibility before sampling begins.

    This service supports refinement of an established concept, helping identify technical considerations, potential risks and construction implications ahead of pattern development and fitting.

  • Pattern cutting for concepts based on your existing blocks or bought garments.

    Pattern amendments throughout the process following fitting comments.

    Grading patterns from base size to full size range.

  • Clear, accurate and factory-ready technical documentation to support smooth production.

    Tech packs can include:

    • Detailed construction notes

    • Specifications and graded measurement charts

    • Measurement diagrams

    • Component and trim breakdowns

    • Custom or branded workbooks to support development from concept through to production

    Documentation is tailored to suit your product, factory and internal processes.

  • Technical support focused on improving garment fit and resolving fit issues.

    This may include:

    • Technical input into fit sessions on in-house models

    • Pattern and fit analysis

    • Compilation of clear, factory-ready fitting comments and annotated photographs

    Support is flexible and collaborative, working alongside existing teams and processes.

  • Measurement and quality checking to help maintain consistency and technical standards throughout development.

    Garments can be reviewed from early samples through to production, with feedback focused on fit, measurements and overall technical execution.

  • Short-term garment technology support during periods of change or recruitment gaps.

    Underpin Studio can provide interim cover for vacancies, parental leave or transition periods, integrating quickly into existing teams and workflows. I work within established systems to support designers, buyers and factory partners, helping ensure continuity while permanent arrangements are put in place.

  • A pattern checking and fit support service for those studying contour, new to lingerie pattern cutting, or seeking a second technical eye.

    Patterns can be reviewed for seam allowances, seam-to-seam alignment, balance and overall shape. Where fit issues arise, guidance is provided on pattern amendments to help resolve problems and improve fit.

    This service reviews existing patterns rather than developing new concepts.

Pricing

Pricing is flexible and reflects the scope, complexity and level of support required for each project.

Support can be provided on an hourly, daily or project basis. For ongoing or longer-term work, a regular weekly arrangement can also be discussed where appropriate.

Following an initial conversation, the scope of work and fees will always be clearly agreed in advance, so there are no surprises.

Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your requirements and how I can best support your team.

Working Arrangements

Services can be delivered remotely, in person, or through a hybrid approach, depending on project requirements and client preference.

In-person support is available for London-based clients, or by agreement for travel to other locations.

Support can be structured flexibly and may be provided:

  • Hourly

  • Daily

  • Weekly

  • On a project or ongoing basis

This allows each engagement to be tailored to suit both short-term needs and longer-term development work.

Intro & Consultation Calls

Free Introductory Call - 20 minutes

A short, structured call to understand your project, where you are in the development process, and how I might best support you.

This call is for scoping only and does not include technical advice or development guidance.

Consultation Call - 1 hour

A focused technical session for detailed questions relating to fit, construction, feasibility, pattern direction or development challenges.

This session is ideal once your concept is defined and you need specialist technical input before moving into pattern development or fitting.

I specialise in pattern and development once the product concept and direction are in place.

Please note that I don’t offer full product development, design, fabric selection or manufacture sourcing.
