Obstacles & solutions (I) Buyers can mess up between the 2 seams when taking them off Use different thread colors or printing different colors along the threads inside the garment. Buyers don’t necessarily have the tools and skill to take off the thread easily. Propose to buy the tools to remove stitches and a small user’s guide

Garments for babies are more constraining and difficult to conceive From a certain age, kids don’t grow as fast anymore and they also damage their clothes very quickly. Collection from 2 to 6 years old With some fabrics and strong colors, taints fade away Use light colors, good quality fabric and dye Not suitable with too thick fabrics because of the several layers Use thin fabrics Limited span of clothes type and designs Use this constraint as a core style that will characterize the brand Obstacles & solutions (II)
