Is clothing made on an assembly line?

Answer 1

In a way. There is no assembly line looking like the ones used to make cars, but in somewhat more complex pieces of clothing there often is an assembly system with people only cutting cloth to size, people doing buttons, people doing sleeves, doing only collars etcetera. There is no moving transport band, partly finished clothes will be carried in big baskets to the next group of seamstresses. With simple clothes like T-shirts, seamstresses may do the whole garment by themselves.
