Swimwear sampling Bali
Swimwear Fit Session Guide
A swimwear fit session is where each sample is tried on a fit model, dry and standing still, and checked against your design. Swimwear Bali suggests booking a fit model in Bali, and your product development coordinator runs the session on a live video call before samples are dispatched.
Get ready
Before Your Fit Session
A swimwear fit session needs a fit model you consider a good fit size, and your designs to compare against. Check your model against the Swimwear Bali size guide first. Our international sizes are fitted sizes, not flat sizes. Use the same fit model every round, so every change is measured on one body.
Fit models in Bali
Book a Bali Fit Model
Swimwear Bali suggests booking a fit model from Castaway Model Management, a model agency in Bali that charges around USD 100 per hour for a fit session. During the session, your development coordinator holds a live video call, so the model can comment on fit and you see every sample before it is dispatched.
Fit checklist
What to Check
Try each sample on dry and standing still, then check fit, hold and finish, top and bottom.
Coverage
No gaping at the sides, neckline or back.
Straps
No digging in, no slipping off.
Pads
They sit flat and stay in place.
Leg line
The same height on both sides.
Seams
Straight and flat.
Both sides
They lie flat together with no bunching. On reversible styles, check the fit worn both ways.
Clear feedback
Giving Fit Feedback
Good fit feedback names the style, the size, the spot and the change in centimetres. For example:
Example
“Style 02, size S: straps slip off. Shorten by 2cm.”
Give your feedback during the live call, then confirm it in writing by WhatsApp or email. Put every change for a style into one round.
Sample revisions
Revisions
Swimwear Bali allows up to 2 revisions per style at wholesale price. A revision is free if the sample is obviously different from the agreed handover.
For minor changes, the edits go straight into your production pattern in 2D AutoCAD digital pattern making software. Clear feedback in the first round keeps revisions down.
Approved samples
After You Approve
Your approved sample becomes the standard your bulk order is checked against. Bulk production starts once your deposit, approved specs and finished logo files are in. Keep your fit photos and videos, as they are how any issue is checked later.
