Write a factory brief in plain English — one instruction per line, every number with its unit, the same word for the same thing every time, and no idioms or shop slang — because the brief is read and passed on by people who will make exactly what the words say, and a line that can be read two ways is the line that comes back as a question or a remake. Plain writing has its own law in the United States: the Plain Writing Act of 2010, signed on 13 October 2010 as Public Law 111-274, requires federal agencies to write documents for the public clearly — the same discipline makes an order brief easy to act on.

Which plain-English rules make a brief easy to act on?
- One instruction per line: "Lapel: notch" on one line, "Vents: double" on the next — Each line can be confirmed or queried on its own
- Numbers with units: "Sleeve: 64 cm", never "64" — Same unit on every message
- One word for one thing: Pick turn-up or cuff and keep it — Two words read as two requests
- No idioms or slang: "Slightly shorter" becomes "1 cm shorter" — Idioms do not translate
- Questions marked: Start a question with "Question:" — Separates what you ask from what you instruct
What should a shop avoid in a written brief?
- Long paragraphs that mix several instructions; split them into lines.
- Abbreviations the factory may not share, unless defined once at the top.
- Relative words (a bit, usual, as before) without a reference; name the order or sample they refer to, as in the order reference format.
Where does this sit on the clock?
A clear brief gets to the lock sooner: the sample (7–14 days) starts when measurements, cloth and construction are locked; production (14–21 days) follows sample approval. Production days are not delivery days.
"Send one instruction per line, with units, on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838 or houzhenying226@gmail.com; we confirm the lock in writing. Sample 7–14 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked."
