The $15,000 sample disaster (that you can avoid)

Hey [Name],

You know what keeps fashion entrepreneurs up at night? The sample budget.

I've heard the stories. Designers spending $10,000, $15,000, even $20,000 on samples for a single collection. Three rounds of revisions. Six months of back-and-forth. And sometimes the fit still isn't right.

That's exactly why I love CLO3D.

In CLO, I can create, fit, and perfect an entire collection in weeks. Test unlimited variations. Show buyers photorealistic samples. All before spending a dollar on physical samples.

But this is the part that nobody talks about with 3D fashion: Not all digital patterns are created equal.

I love that CLO has a marketplace where you can find all types of patterns to start with: free and paid. But, yo! It's the wild west out there. Those patterns look gorgeous in the preview, but the moment you get them in CLO and try to adjust something (change a sleeve, modify the length, grade to different sizes) everything falls apart. 😫

I know because I've been there, fighting with patterns that just won't cooperate.

That's why I'm so excited about my partnership with IDES Studio. The owner? She's a former CLO employee AND technical designer. But here's what really matters: She tests every single style on real bodies.

Think about that. Real humans. Real fit sessions. Real adjustments. To ensure that digital file actually fits a real person.

When you start with an IDES block, you're starting with patterns you can actually trust:

✓ The fit has been proven

✓ The proportions are right

✓ The grading works

✓ You can modify them without everything breaking

As a Digital Artisan, you understand that virtual sampling isn't about replacing physical samples entirely. It's about being strategic. Virtual first to perfect the design, physical only when you're confident.

The smart brands? They're showing complete collections to buyers using CLO3D, then only producing physical samples for confirmed orders.

Today at noon, I'm opening a 24 hour window for my CLO3D course. You'll get a 10% off the course. Plus, the first 10 buyers get a FREE IDES Studio block (women's dress or male jean). These patterns are the foundation you can trust.

Start with patterns you can trust. Your entire production timeline depends on it. Ready to revolutionize your sampling process?

P.S. The free IDES blocks are limited to the first 10 buyers. Once they're gone, they're gone. These aren't just any patterns; they're fitted on real bodies first, which makes all the difference.
