Construction points that make prints look premium Clean topstitch lines that do not wobble Balanced gathers so print density stays even Hidden snaps on wrap bodices to prevent gaping Lining or partial lining to keep light prints from going sheer Where I require tighter checks Center front and side seams on large florals Waist seam alignment on fitted bodices Tier seams on tiered A-lines Button plackets on shirt A-lines A QC checklist I run before shipment I compare bulk to approved strike-off under daylight I check seam twist and panel distortion on hanger I test 5 pcs for wash and steam behavior I review random cartons for shade grouping consistency
