How To Design And "Manufacture" A Clothing Item?

[GThreepwood]

Hey everyone,

I hope you're doing great!

I have an idea for a unique piece of clothing for pets actually

I've got the general design in my brain right now, and going to make a super-crude prototype "garage style" and if it works out I'd like to get a *real* well thought out design mocked up and then actually manufactured.

Honestly, I have no idea how to design clothes in a way that a manufacturer would understand, or who to even contact at all.

I've done some googling, and looked around here a bit, the best I've found is ThomasNet® - Product Sourcing and Supplier Discovery Platform so far for manufacturers.

But I wanted to see if anyone has any pointers or could send me down the right path.

I really appreciate your help, and happy Wednesday!
-Sean
