A. I am an independent designer and I will tell you the way it goes through it's life cycle. Usually the first step is to design what you want your garment to look like. Your design should include a template of a basic human figure. The clothes can be drawn to fit on top, then the lines can be erased, but if you are good at drawing then the clothes can be included in the actual drawing. Many designers make side notes on their sketch as to what fabric, texture, and additional details they want on their garment. These are called specs. Specs are specific details written on the side of the drawing with an arrow pointing to where the detail is to be included in the design.

How long will it take to process my online American Apparel application?
Q. I'm thinking of applying to work at American Apparel as a sales associate, and I'm doing my application via the Internet. Does anyone know what happens next, like when will they contact you for an interview, or if they ever contact you, and when you can probably expect to start work? Also, how do they decide which location to set you up in? I'm adding all this detail because I still have school, and I don't want to suddenly be called to an interview on the exact day when I have exams or something.

A. The newspaper said that AA has been getting 100 applications per week. Far too many. So most people have not been getting any information back except an email saying "thanks for your application". Then silence. Visit with the workers at the nearest store and see if there are any openings. If not, apply elsewhere, too. They won't schedule your interview during school hours..

These include bed sheets, bedspreads, curtains and draperies. Polyester fiberfill is also used to stuff pillows, comforters and cushion padding." How often is polyester worn on the street?

A. Polyester is very common, especially in the sports athletic wear category. Recent technical innovations have turned polyester from the black sheep of the fabric world into a star. Polyesters made for athletic wear are superior in every way to cotton. When cotton gets wet with sweat it stays wet and heavy, polyester will wick perspiration away from the skin where it can evaporate and keep the athlete cooler. Polyester also washes clean as the fibers don't absorb the sweat the same way cotton does. In fashion textile polyester in no longer that thick ugly double knit.

A. There's always but if you're trying to find it for a lower price, eBay is trustable... to an extent. Sometimes, the sellers will pack a lot of hidden cost into the shipping (example: $20 item, $80 shipping.)

A. The Magic show in Lss Vegas is the biggest apparel show in the world. It is twice a year, February and August. I go everytime, it is amazing!. You just register with their website and when you show up you get an all access pass. It doesn't cost you anything to attend. here is the Main page: here is the registration page: There are also major shows in Atlanta and New York but Vegas is the best. One more thing do not buy from websites once you are at the show you will get accounts with the merchants you like and they will be the lowest price. If you are not dealing directly with a company you are paying to much.
