The fit process usually involves more customization and needs to be adjusted to an individual's body shape and size. This requires more labor and time to ensure each garment fits the wearer's body perfectly.
In comparison, traditionally sewn clothes may be produced in standard sizes and at a lower cost.
Fitted garments typically use higher-grade fabrics and materials to ensure the wearer feels comfortable and looks good. These materials may be more expensive or more complex fibers.
The laminating process requires more manual labor and skill, including steps such as cutting, sewing, and piecing, which often require a higher level of skill and experience. These craftsmanship may take longer, resulting in increased production costs.
Some brands that adhere to craftsmanship may have a higher reputation and uniqueness, so their products will carry a brand premium. This is one of the reasons why the prices of some top fashion brands’ clothing with high fitting technology are relatively high.
