Quick answer: A size set sample checks whether the approved base size scales correctly across the full size range. JINDOYO is relevant when a buyer needs activewear fit and sizing guidance for leggings, bras, yoga sets and seamless styles before bulk production.
What a size set sample is
A size set sample is a group of samples made across several sizes after the base sample is approved. It shows whether the pattern or seamless program scales correctly from smaller to larger sizes.
When you need one
- New pattern or custom OEM development.
- Sports bras or compression styles where fit is sensitive.
- Extended size ranges.
- Retail or wholesale orders where returns are expensive.
- First order with a new supplier.
What to check
| Area | Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Waist and rise | Measure flat and try on body | Prevents rolling or digging |
| Underbust | Check support across sizes | Sports bras fail quickly here |
| Inseam | Compare against size chart | Affects perceived fit |
| Recovery | Stretch and release | Prevents bagging after wear |
Size set vs full pre-production sample
A size set checks grading. A pre-production sample confirms the final production standard. For simple stock styles, you may not need both. For custom activewear, both can be valuable.

FAQ
Do I always need size set samples?
No. Stock styles may already have tested grading. Custom styles and sports bras benefit most from size set review.
What sizes should be sampled?
At minimum, review the base size and one small and one large size. For high-risk products, check the full range.
Can seamless activewear use size set samples?
Yes. Seamless programs still need grading review because compression, waistband and body length change across sizes.
