Seamy Side Quest is a company founded in 2024 by two women that provides 3D clothing modelling services to apparel companies. Seamy Side Quest aims to support sustainable business models for apparel companies and revolutionise clothing design, product development, and production through digital clothing and tools.
What kind of product or service is it?
3D clothing models are digital versions of garments created using 3D modeling software (such as CLO3D). They are based on digitised patterns or entirely new 2D patterns created within the software, which are then digitally sewn and fitted onto an avatar. 3D clothing allows for unlimited experimentation with different cuts, colors, materials, and patterns. With 3D clothing, you can visualise what a physical garment will look like before it is actually manufactured.
Digital 3D garments can be utilised by clothing companies and brands for:
- To create digital clothing twins (e.g. digital product passports or virtual showrooms)
- Clothing design: fit, cuts, textile materials, colours, patterns
- To create realistic and lifelike 3D product images for online stores, sales catalogues, and other marketing materials
- To develop preliminary production patterns
3D clothing modelling is transforming traditional linear clothing design and production toward a circular economy-based life-cycle approach. At the same time, it shortens the lead time for design and production.
In larger companies, 3D clothing modelling software and expertise are often integrated into design and production processes, which not all SMEs necessarily have the capacity to do. Seamy Side Quest offers outsourced 3D clothing modelling services even for shorter projects.
How is the solution related to the circular economy?
Clothing manufacturing typically involves a great deal of manual labor, and textile materials are valuable. Digital tools support the value of craftsmanship and optimise the use of energy, textile materials, and logistics.
According to the results of the “Prototype Production in the Apparel Industry” study, carried out by Seamy Side Quest in 2025 and co-funded by the EU, the environmental impact of the design process can be reduced by replacing physical prototypes with 3D prototypes.
