Quick Turn Clothing is an apparel pattern and sample maker with product development services included. The company was founded by Charles and Marianne Webber who help small and large retailers with producing the perfect pattern. They receive a piece of paper with a drawing of the garment and from that drawing and fabric given they create a pattern in muslin. After the muslin sample, a prototype of the garment in the real fabric will be produced. The finished pattern will be sent to a pattern grader and marker and then can go into production after. Quick Turn Clothing contributes to the fashion industry as they are able to produce the first prototype and create the sample. The entire product development process may take about one month which is very fast for the fashion industry. I can use this experience in my future career as it is important to understand how a garment is constructed. Understanding the seams, fabric, and trims all contribute to the final cost of the product which in turn affects the final retail price for the piece and the collection as a whole.
