Garment quality control involves a series of processes that ensure that a garment meets certain quality standards
before it is shipped to customers. Here are some key elements of garment quality control:

This includes checking the color, print, weight, and texture of the fabric.
2 Pattern inspection: The pattern used for making the garment should be inspected to ensure that it is
accurate and matches the customer’s specifications.
3 Cutting inspection: The cut fabric pieces should be inspected for any defects or irregularities. This includes
checking the fabric pieces’ size, shape, and alignment.
4 Sewing inspection: The sewing process should be closely monitored to ensure that the garment is stitched
together correctly. This includes checking the seams, stitches, and overall construction of the garment.

5 Finishing inspection: The finishing process involves adding buttons, zippers, and other accessories to
the garment. This step should also be inspected to ensure that the accessories are properly attached and
functional.

6 Final inspection: Once the garment is completed, a final inspection should be carried out to ensure that
the garment meets the desired quality standards. This includes checking the size, fit, color, and overall
appearance of the garment.
7 Packaging and labeling: The garment should be appropriately packaged and labeled for shipping. This
includes ensuring that the correct size and style of the garment are included and that the labeling is accurate
and clear.
By implementing these key elements of garment quality control, manufacturers can ensure that their products
