Rashguard & Bikini Tech Pack
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I'm launching a performance swimwear brand called Flow Swimwear and developing my first collection: a long-sleeve rash guard paired with a moderate-coverage bikini bottom. The set must incorporate UV protection and quick-dry fabric performance, so every detail in the technical package has to support those two features—from fabric call-outs to seam construction and finishing.
The design language is sleek and athletic rather than logo-heavy, and the bikini bottom should be high waisted with mod coverage. The rash guard is a mid-length crop style with crew neck and full sleeves to wrist, featuring contoured fit with strategic seaming for minimal water drag. Feel free to suggest subtle contour paneling or small functional tweaks as long as they keep the overall look streamlined.
Brand Tagline: "Swimwear designed to keep you flowing forward without the drag"
WHAT I NEED:
Full manufacturing-ready tech pack including:
- Clean vector flats (front, back, and side views) with seam placement and details
- Close-up detail sketches (neckline, cuffs, armholes, waistband)
- Annotated construction notes for all seams and finishes
- Graded size specs (XS-XXL with complete measurement chart)
- Bill of materials with fabric weight, composition, and performance specs (high-stretch, minimal drag, quick-dry)
- Clear color/print placement sheets
- Stitch types and thread gauge call-outs
DELIVERABLES:
- Adobe Illustrator files (editable and clearly labeled)
- High-resolution PDF versions ready for manufacturer submissions
- 3D preview in CLO or similar (bonus, not essential)
- Professional presentation suitable for factory sampling and B2B communications
TARGET MARKET:
Women's athletic/performance swimwear with focus on water performance and security during movement
FACTORY-READINESS CHECKLIST:
- Measurements must grade consistently across all sizes
- All call-outs must list stitch types and thread gauges
- Every artwork file clearly labeled and organized
- Ready for direct sampling and manufacturing
I can provide detailed written specifications, measurement references, and brand guidelines to help you start sketching. Let me know if you need anything else to get started.
