(Cofounder here) I talked to really big fast fashion brands on that subject. Oftentimes they dont even have the garment cuts at hand. They sort of outsource big part of the designing process to the supplier (Bangladesh, China contractor). Fashion Technicians are handed samples and they iterate on them, but they can't reproduce the actual fabric dimensions that easily. The fast fashiuon brands are very hard to get them to experiment with such solutions for that matter - it would interfere with very fast and scrappy process thats in place
