A garment version made from inexpensive fabric

A garment version made from inexpensive fabric

• A. Sketch
• B. Mockup
• C. Draped sample
• D. Tailor's fit

Answer: (B)

Testing fit and design with a low-cost version is all about creating a mockup. This garment built in inexpensive fabric lets you check how the pattern sits on the body, whether there’s enough ease, how seams align, and how the garment moves—without risking expensive material. It’s the practical, test version used to refine the pattern before final production. A sketch is just a drawing, not a physical garment; a draped sample focuses on how fabric hangs and shapes rather than validating the overall pattern, and a tailor’s fit centers on precise sizing for a performer, often on a final garment rather than a separate mockup.
