I was wondering if the same applies for footwear. I have the CAD designs and I also have product shots for my line sheet. Which is best to use for the line sheet. I have only seen actual shoe images (photo taken on a seamless white background and image extracted) for the line sheets

Hello. I love your blog. I would like to know if the process for making and submitting a linesheet for jewelry would be the same*? Should I attach an order form as well? Also should I include wholesale list?

I work in retail for the past 3 years and I usually work with line sheets when the new stocks come in and we needed to do the stock take, we check the garments codes and tick it off in the line sheet.

What I remembered about them was that it was an A4 size two times the length. Having the technical drawing on them with description. Fabric Type, Season, Style Code & Price

{ It was handrewn and edited with computer. They also put the swatch beside the style. But not as in swatch fabric but a printed picture of the swatch. It gives a clear meaning to what it looks like too. }

So that’s one tip I guess, generally speaking. Hope any bit of it helps.

As a technical designer for 3 years, I strongly feel linesheets should be computer generated. With the click of a button you can alter very very quickly something for a last minute change. It is time efficient, consistent, clean. The best program to use is Adobe Illustrator. As far as dimension and sizing, dimension isnt as important -thats more for a tech pack… but the sizing of leg openings, skirt lengths, sleeve lengths are kinda important… it helps the rep sell items easier when they too feel knowledgable about the fit. I hope this hels.

All of this information is very helpful. I’m still a little confused though. Do line sheets need to be computer generated documents? Or can they be hand sketched? If it is better to use a computer program can you advise me which program would be best to buy and easiest to use? Also on the line sheet somewhere (my apologies if you’ve addressed this already) do you need to show dimensions and sizing?

In terms of line sheets and providing season, order cut off date and delivery time frame, what if your items are not seasonal. Say something that can be ordered from January-December. Is it ok to omit that information and/or should something else be inserted instead?

The whole issue of line sheets is that they should consist of simple line drawings -technical rather than artistic renderings- as opposed to photography.

Great information.
Do you have names and/or contact info for any of the companies in L.A. that will do the photographs on models or mannequins for line sheets? I can’t seem to find them via the internet.
Thanks!

Thanks about those useful information you provided. Do you know how much does a freelancer would charge for a line sheet? Because I am offered a job which is a line sheet of 11 garments and for the first time i really don’t know how to set the price. Could you help me please?
