Drape and opacity
Discuss how the skirt should move, the level of body coverage and whether lining is required. Request a fabric swatch before judging handfeel or opacity; concept photography cannot confirm these properties.
Fit checkpoints
Provide the intended neckline, bust, waist, hip and finished length. Record where each measurement is taken and compare the sample with the wearer profile, rather than relying only on an XS–XL label.
Prepare the sample discussion
Include your colour direction, size ratios and a reference for any changes. List closures, straps, lining and packaging separately so unresolved details are visible before production is considered.
