Garment Fitter

The Garment Fit & Product Testing Associate will play an important role in the product development process by participating in controlled trial fitting and wear-testing sessions for prototype and pre-production garments.

The purpose of the role is to help the design team identify issues related to fit, comfort, movement, construction, fabric feel and wearability before garments proceed to bulk production.

The role is particularly important because MehZ Fashions aims to develop garments that are not only visually appealing but also comfortable, functional and suitable for real-world use.

• Explain fitting issues clearly and objectively.

• Assist the team in identifying areas requiring alteration.
