| Sample | Wash a sample if the garment will be washed. Check repeat across a panel. |
| Common miss | Buying the print and ignoring the base fibre and construction. |
Does every printed fabric listing mean the same cloth?
No. Printed fabric carries colour or motif on a base cloth. Base cloth still rules performance. Name base fibre, print method if published, repeat size, and colourfastness notes.
Can you skip sampling printed fabric?
Wash a sample if the garment will be washed. Check repeat across a panel.
What should stay on the brief besides the keyword printed fabric?
Base cloth, print method, repeat, weight, and colourfastness. Buying the print and ignoring the base fibre and construction.
