Founding-studio pilot

Catch custom-garment problems before they reach your client

MadeApt is building a proof-of-make platform for businesses producing custom, made-to-measure and small-batch clothing.

Each garment receives its own organised production record, including specifications, measurements, progress evidence, quality-control checkpoints and final approval before shipping.

We are inviting a small number of bridal studios, costume teams, designers, makers and independent fashion businesses to test the workflow using a real garment order.

The founding-studio pilot is designed to help us understand how MadeApt fits into real production environments while giving participating businesses early access to the platform and direct input into its development.

The pilot may be suitable for you if:

  • You produce custom or made-to-measure garments
  • You work with local or overseas makers
  • You manage different measurements for every customer
  • You currently track production through messages, spreadsheets or shared folders
  • You need clearer progress updates from makers
  • You want to catch mistakes before garments are completed or shipped
  • You produce bridalwear, costumes, dancewear, formalwear or small fashion runs

What participating studios will test

During the pilot, you will use MadeApt to document one or more real garment orders. Depending on your workflow, this may include:

  • Recording the approved garment design
  • Organising customer measurements
  • Confirming fabrics, trims and construction details
  • Setting production checkpoints
  • Collecting photographs and evidence from makers
  • Reviewing work before production advances
  • Recording changes and approvals
  • Completing a final quality-control review
  • Creating a client-visible proof-of-make trail

You do not need to change your entire business or move every order into MadeApt. The pilot can begin with one suitable garment.

“I saw one of the very first versions of MadeApt demoed in Perth, and even then it was clear they were onto something. The combination is what got me: design a garment with AI, then have a real tailor who's paid fairly cut it to your measurements. No production lines, no couture prices. Going from that early demo to onboarding festivals and a waitlist of fashion businesses is exactly the trajectory I was curious about when we first spoke. This is what made-to-order fashion should look like.”
