Garment specification

A description
isn’t a spec.

This is what a factory needs before they can quote. Every measurement says where it’s taken, and how much it can vary.

Printed on every export

This is a specification document, not a pattern and not a production order. It describes what you want. It does not guarantee that a factory can make it, that a sample will match, or what it will cost.

AHow it runs

Five steps, and the fourth one gates the export

Each step is usable on its own, but the order is the product. You cannot export a pack whose measurements have not each been confirmed against a diagram.

The reason is narrow and it is the whole point: two people can read the same number and measure it in two different places. A number without a location is not a specification.

    Describe the garment, get a draft spec

    You write it the way you would say it out loud. What comes back is a garment type, a fit, the construction points you mentioned, a fabric suggestion with a weight range in g/m², a trims list, and a first set of measurements.

    Answer the open questions

    The draft comes with a list of things a factory will ask that you have not said yet. Answering them is what turns a description into something quotable.

    Technical flats, front and back

    Line drawings in the convention the trade uses: closed outlines, consistent proportion, front and back aligned. No shading, no body, no fabric render — this is a technical drawing, not a visual. Vector out, so detail survives being zoomed into.

    Mark where each measurement is taken

    Every measurement row gets a point diagram on the flat and a method sentence written as an instruction. You confirm them one at a time. This step cannot be skipped or done in bulk.

    Export gate: while any measurement is unconfirmed, or is missing a diagram, a tolerance or a method sentence, the pack will not generate.

    A short animation of the measurement points

    The flat holds still and the measurement lines draw themselves on, one at a time, with the value and the method beside each. No audio track and no voiceover — factory conversations cross languages, and a line being drawn does not need translating. 16:9 to send with the pack, 1:1 for messaging apps.

Read what this is, and what it is not

CWhy the diagrams

Same number, two places

The most common reason a sample comes back wrong is not an arithmetic error. It is that the two people measured in different places and both were sure they were right.

A chest measurement can be taken at the widest point of the garment, or flat at 2.5 cm below the armhole from side seam to side seam. On the same shirt those give different numbers. Neither is wrong. Only one of them is what you meant.

So every measurement row carries a point diagram and a method sentence written as an instruction, not a label. A row without both cannot go into an export.

cm + in

Both units, side by side

Kept in parallel. We do not convert once and throw the original away.

± on every row

Tolerance is mandatory

A measurement with no tolerance tells a factory nothing about what is acceptable.

The same chest measurement taken two ways: across the widest point, and flat at 2.5 cm below the armhole

Left

At the widest point

Measured flat across the widest part of the body, wherever that falls.

Right

2.5 cm below the armhole

Measured flat, side seam to side seam, at a fixed distance from the armhole.

EThe unit of work

One row is five things, never one

This is what a single measurement looks like when it leaves here. The method sentence is what a factory reads; the number on its own is only half of it.

Rows marked Inferred were derived from what you gave us rather than measured by you. They stay marked all the way through to the export, so nobody downstream mistakes them for something you checked.

Seam types are named in the convention the trade already uses

Construction is written as a stitch class alongside the drawing, so a production manager does not have to guess what “double stitched” was supposed to mean.

BThe difference

It tells you what it does not know

A general-purpose model will fill every field and hand you back something that reads as finished. A factory reading that document still has ten questions, and you find out about them a week later, one email at a time.

So the draft arrives with two lists attached. One is the questions a factory is going to ask that you have not answered yet. The other is what is still missing before anyone can put a price on it. Neither list is decoration — until they are empty, the pack says so on its own front page.

What we will not do

Guess a value and present it as though you had given it. Anything derived rather than stated is marked inferred and stays visually separate from what you measured.

What we cannot do

Answer them for you. Most of these are decisions about your garment, not facts to look up. The value is in being asked before the factory asks.

Where this stops

A tool that writes garment specifications sits next to several businesses we are deliberately not in. Being precise about that is part of the product.

  • We do not sell garments

    Nothing on this site is a physical product. There is no stock, no shipping and no delivery, because there is nothing to deliver. What you get is a document.

  • We do not manufacture, sample or source

    No production, no sampling, no fabric or trim buying, and no quality inspection. If a spec sheet is wrong for a machine on a floor somewhere, that is a conversation for you and the people running it.

  • We do not put you in touch with factories

    No directory, no ratings, no introductions, no request-for-quote forwarding, and no commission, referral fee or rebate from anyone who makes clothes. We hold no money on anybody's behalf.

  • We do not size garments for shoppers

    This is for the people making the garment, not the people buying it. There is no fit finder and no size recommendation for a retail customer.

  • We do not certify or test

    No fabric testing, no certification handling, and no compliance sign-off. Care label field templates are provided; whether your label is legal where you sell it is yours to confirm.

  • We do not claim a track record

    ORASCI LIMITED was incorporated on 2026-06-05. There are no client logos, testimonials or case studies on this site, because there is nothing true to put there yet.

What a spec sheet can and cannot settle

It settles what you are asking for. It does not settle whether a particular factory can make it, what they will charge, or how close the first sample will land.
