This basic saturation testing aims to determine if all your (relevant) fabrics are capable of reaching your goal color. For multi-color projects, we will test with the most challenging pigment, for instance, purple for a tricolor "Peacock" ombre palette. This is a required step in our process, as it provides another step closer to proof of concept for setting your and our expectations. Swatch testing does not contractually obligate you to proceed with your full garment.
We always aim to complete tests within 2 weeks of receiving your garment/test fabric, even if you're not yet scheduled into the production queue (by prepaying for the full service). Better to get your proof of concept right away and empower you to keep event planning aesthetics rolling along!
Looking for additional testing?
Multiple Saturation Tests
Happy to accommodate; just purchase one test of this type for each color you'd like to have reported. For that example "Peacock" project, you could opt to purchase a total of three saturation tests for your aquamarine, blue, and purple.
Full Ombre Test
An additional, optional new offering tests how ombre projects' colors will blend on a similar fabric we provide. It won't be YOUR gown's satin, but it will be another poly satin, for example, which in conjunction with the saturation testing, provides a thorough visual aid before we proceed. We need a piece approximately 30" long and 8" wide; if you have a scrap that size, we'll absolutely use yours!
Note: A complimentary re-test is available if your goal color is reported as a "fail". We are very comfortable pivoting to a Plan B color that you'll love!
