Abstract

Ready to wear garment collection
preparation consists of several processes from design idea to selling to last
consumer. There are various factors that effect the product design and product
cost. If the designed products are for babies and kids groups, suppliers need
to care about health and safety conditions besides the design, aesthetics, quality, cost and
marketability. At this research, principles and steps of 0-12 age garment
collection processes were examined; factors that effect the product cost and
product design processes were elaborated. Because of its big marketspace at
Turkish textile export, Europe was determined as target market at this study. "Traditional
costing" and "target costing" methods from contemporary costing
systems were used at costing. 2016 Autumn/Winter Zara baby boys and boys
garment collection of a ready to wear and apparel company which locates in
İzmir was examined and the results were discussed in the scope of this study.
