In the global fashion industry, creating a garment that fits well, looks great, and performs in the market doesn’t happen by luck. It takes a combination of design vision, technical accuracy, and production discipline.
Behind every successful garment is a team of technical professionals—each with their own expertise. At Ethnotex Private Limited, we specialize in coordinating these professionals to ensure smooth, cost-effective, and reliable apparel production for global fashion brands.
In this article, we explain the core responsibilities of technical designers, patternmakers, and specification technicians, and how Ethnotex manages these roles end-to-end within our production ecosystem.
Who is a Technical Designer?
A Technical Designer ensures that the designer’s vision becomes a functional, wearable garment. They are the connection between creative design and practical execution.
Key Responsibilities:
- Reviewing and finalizing tech packs
- Overseeing fit and wearability of garments
- Providing construction and finishing instructions
- Approving samples through fit sessions
- Communicating revisions to patternmakers and factories
At Ethnotex, we work closely with your brand’s design team or support you directly if you lack an internal technical team. We translate your concept into clear, actionable instructions for production.
Who is a Patternmaker?
A Patternmaker creates the physical or digital blueprint of a garment. Without a precise pattern, even the best design will fail in production.
Key Responsibilities:
- Drafting first patterns from sketches or specs
- Grading for different sizes (S–XXL, for example)
- Modifying patterns based on sample feedback
- Collaborating with sewing lines for production efficiency
- Using CAD systems like Lectra or Gerber
Through our partner factories, Ethnotex ensures access to expert patternmakers who can deliver high-precision patterns tailored for both mass production and quality.
Who is a Specification Technician?
A Specification Technician focuses on data and measurements. They track every detail of garment specs—ensuring size accuracy and production consistency.
Key Responsibilities:
- Creating and maintaining size specs and tolerances
- Recording measurements during each sample stage (Proto, SMS, PP, TOP)
- Comparing samples to original specs
- Supporting quality control teams
- Updating documentation throughout development
Ethnotex’s in-house team coordinates with specification technicians to monitor measurement integrity from development to delivery—so your bulk products always match your approved samples.
