Criteria determining the purchase of your ready-to-wear clothes

                                                     INTRODUCTION        

Ready-to-wear has rather different connotations in the spheres of fashion and classic clothing. In the fashion industry, designers produce ready-to-wear clothing, intended to be worn without significant alteration because clothing made to standard sizes fits most people. They use standard patterns, factory equipment, and faster construction techniques to keep costs low, compared to a custom-sewn version of the same item. Some fashion houses and fashion designers produce mass-produced and industrially manufactured ready-to-wear lines, but others offer garments that are not unique but are produced in limited numbers.

This questionnaire will take about 10 or less minutes to fill; your answers will be used to create and improve on the production, cost, quality and to sustain the availability of ready-to-wear clothing in Lithuania and maybe the world at large. Your identity will not be disclosed completely, so feel free to express yourself in the response below.

Please note that this survey is not age or gender restrained.
