What’s New in 2025.1.3: Faster Workflows and Smarter Product Development

The latest VStitcher 2025.1.3 release delivers key updates designed to help fashion brands and product development teams work faster, reduce errors, and improve collaboration.

While it’s a minor release, the improvements add value across design, development, and production. Here’s an overview of what’s new and how it helps your team.

Keep Color Information Accurate and Consistent

Previously, when importing Adobe Illustrator (AI) vector artworks, color names weren’t automatically preserved in VStitcher, requiring manual renaming to ensure production accuracy.

With this update, color names from AI files are now automatically retained.

Value for your team:

• Save time by eliminating manual color corrections

• Maintain consistency across designs and tech packs

• Improve accuracy and speed in color communication

This ensures a faster design-to-production process for apparel designers and technical teams.

Enhanced Tech Pack Clarity

Tech packs are essential for clear communication between design and production teams, but before this update, style and material names could appear truncated, and repeated print images were sometimes unclear.

The improved tech pack layout now clearly displays style names and material details and allows you to exclude repeated print thumbnails.

Value for your team:

• Simplify tech pack creation

• Reduce errors and back-and-forth corrections

• Improve production readiness with more precise, more detailed documentation

These updates help ensure your tech packs communicate exactly what’s needed, saving time and minimizing costly mistakes.

Easier Folder Navigation When Sharing to Stylezone

Before, sharing designs to Stylezone sometimes required extra steps to confirm the correct destination folder. The new update now displays the whole folder hierarchy and path, making it easy to share assets confidently.

Value for your team:

• Avoid misplacing files

• Save time by reducing the need for re-uploads or corrections

• Strengthen collaboration by keeping shared assets organized

More Control Over Layering and Thickness

The latest improvements give designers and developers better control over garment layers' application, especially for detailed areas like straps or trims.

By introducing an intuitive brush tool and refining how thickness is applied, teams can achieve more precise and reliable results without disrupting existing designs.

Value for your team:

• Work more confidently on complex designs

• Avoid unexpected simulation issues

• Deliver cleaner, more accurate garment details

Improved Soft Avatar Fit Simulation

For brands focusing on garment fit, the new update improves how soft avatars react under simulation by removing unnecessary gravity effects.

This delivers clearer, more realistic fit results and helps better replicate physical fitting conditions.

Value for your team:

• Achieve more accurate fit validation

• Improve confidence in digital-to-physical outcomes

• Streamline the fit approval process

How Browzwear 2025.1.3 Elevates Your Workflow
