Running a fashion business requires a variety of skills. Many budding designers have great ideas but don't know where to start; very few have the time or skills to do it all on their own. In 2018 I started Marren Hager Fashion Services to support small fashion businesses by offering a range of pre-production services to help designers bring their products to life.

Services

Pattern Cutting and Grading from £20 per hour*

After your initial design idea, the next step is creating a pattern for your garment. Patterns for your designs can be made from blocks or pre-existing patterns, by replicating a vintage garment, draping on the stand, or digitally. Fit sessions and pattern changes will need to happen after your first toile and sample are made. Once your final pattern has been approved your pattern can be graded across a full size range.

Sewing toiles and samples from £18 per hour*

After your first pattern is finished it's always wise to make a toile to ensure everything is how it should be, then a sample garment can be made from your chosen fabric. 

Technical from £15 per hour*

Communicating with a factory can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Make sure you're not leaving anything to chance by creating detailed spec sheets, tech packs, and flat garment illustrations.

E-Commerce listing from £12 per hour*

Once you have your finished product ready to sell - it's time to get it online! Listing your product on the e-commerce website of your choice takes time and a bit of know-how. Clear photography, accurate measurements, a snazzy description, and a bit of SEO will get it sold.
