Do show that you're adaptable. Demonstrate your thinking process. Be complete and show that you're taking the business' interests into account.

Example Answer: "I'll ask for a good sized sample of the cloth and ask the mill for the technical specifications. I'll need to touch and handle the cloth with my own hands so that I know how it'll drape on the body. If it's appropriate for the garment, I'll move forward with it. Otherwise, I'll explain why it isn't good for this use, and how it'll affect the customer."
