Have you placed an order with a factory only to find the production hasn’t come back as you hoped?

Are you unsure of the details needed to create the product you want?

Perhaps you’re struggling with a language barrier between you and your factory?

If the answer is yes then this order confirmation template will help you feel more confident when placing your orders for production!

Hey, I'm Elizabeth!

A fashion consultant working with independent clothing brands taking your designs from paper to production

I've worked in fashion buying & supplier design management for over 10 years for UK brands Next, New Look, Miss Selfridge, River Island & George @ Asda

In 2018, I managed the launch of a brand called NEW girl ORDER & quickly realised what hard work it is! There was a small team and a BIG to do list of things such as PR, marketing, web development, social media & not to mention the design, sourcing, production, budget planning … the list went on!

It was hard work & we knew the industry inside out; it got me thinking of all the brands out there who needed this advice but didn’t have the experience, probably working alone with nobody to help them or simply ask for advice

That’s when I knew it was time to leave & put my skills to good use to help support independent fashion brands like you & share my knowledge I’ve gained over the past decade in the industry!

The biggest mistake I see with clients is that they assume the factory knows what’s going on inside their head.

By not providing enough detail in their design specs or their order confirmations / purchase orders, it leads to costly mistakes!

They’re worried about patronising the factory or being pushy but I can promise you this- if you feel like you’re being patronising with the level of detail you’re giving, this is the CORRECT level of detail needed!

Here's what to expect…

A clear & concise 1 page excel sheet with all the details needed to place an order with a factory (including instructions for use!)

Is this right for me?

This template is for you if you’re unsure of what / how much information to give to the factory in order for them to produce your fashion collection

Maybe you've placed orders in the past and they haven’t come back as you’d hoped?

The order confirmation process can feel a little intimidating as it’s setting everything in stone so this template will give you some peace of mind that you’re following the industry standard!

After having worked in this industry for over ten years, I've seen everything!  From the good, to the bad, to the ugly, this guide will help you avoid all those costly mistakes which could be hiding around the corner

Get clued up with this simple template and understand how the professionals do it from an insider's perspective!

Remember that the more detail you give, there’s less room for error and you’re increasing your chances of the production process running more smoothly.

After using it, I promise you'll feel in control of your production in order to take your brand forward in the right direction 

Thankyou!
