Important Disclaimer
Prototype Patterns Only: This service includes the creation of a single, first-draft prototype pattern based on your design. These are ideal for sample making and fit evaluation—not final production unless further revisions are made.
Revisions Not Included: Adjustments made after the prototype is delivered (fit corrections, detailing, etc.) are not part of the base service and will incur additional charges.
Complex Designs: Styles with engineered features, advanced draping, or custom tailoring may require more time and will be quoted individually. We will communicate any additional costs upfront.
No Liability for Production Errors: Using our prototype pattern service means you understand this is a starting point, and Smart Pattern Making is not liable for production issues arising from unedited prototype patterns.
Agreement: By using our service, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
