Prototype Development

Prototype Development - Move Your Concept Into a Physical Sample

For apparel concepts that are ready to move beyond technical translation and into prototype sample development.

This package helps turn a submitted garment idea, sketch, AI visual, or reference-based concept into one physical prototype sample within the selected package scope. It includes feasibility review, technical translation, sample preparation, and prototype development work.

Includes:

• Draftpath Feasibility Brief
• Technical Translation Brief
• Pattern and construction direction
• Material, trim, and fit considerations
• One prototype sample within the selected package scope
• Fit, construction, and development notes
• Up to 2 revision rounds within the confirmed scope
• Recommended next pathway after prototype review

Choose your complexity band:

A - Simple Apparel
B - Structured Apparel
C - Bodywear / Lingerie / Fit-Sensitive
D - Complex / Formal / Fantasy

This package includes standard material allowance and prototype work within the selected complexity band.

Standard material allowance covers ordinary materials and trims suitable for the selected service scope. Premium lace, specialty hardware, embroidery, unusual fabrics, complex trims, special surface treatments, or other higher-cost materials may require a Pathform Service Supplement before later stages continue.

Not included:

Final garment production, bulk production quotation, full production management, size grading, multiple physical samples, unlimited revisions, premium materials beyond the standard material allowance, shipping, or factory-ready production documentation unless specifically included in the confirmed scope.

If your concept exceeds the selected complexity band, requires premium materials, needs additional samples, or requires work beyond the included scope, Pathform may recommend simplification, upgrade, or a Pathform Service Supplement before later stages continue.

After purchase:

Submit your concept through the Pathform intake form and include your Shopify order number.
