Wholesale Navy Blue Tailored Blazer Office Dress

It helps to separate what the customer sees from what the factory feels. The outside is wool blend or ponte in navy, the inside is structure, and the two have to agree on the same sample. Written down, the request is wholesale navy blue tailored blazer office dress: a body, a length and a budget. Those three lines are enough to start a pattern, provided somebody writes the fourth line - the finish. Samples for this garment rarely fail on design. They fail on a measurement that was never written down, and a cloth that behaved differently from the swatch.

Keep one dye lot for bulk. Splitting a thousand pieces across two lots is how a reorder ends up with a visible line between sizes. Stretch is the quiet variable. Two percent elastane changes the grade rule, the seam type, and how the hem behaves after ten washes. For wool blend or ponte, order five to eight percent extra. Cutting around a shade band costs more than the cloth. Request a shrink test on the actual dye lot. Half a percent across a long hem is visible to the customer and invisible on the sheet.

Construction notes

The build follows the same order on every size. These are the steps where the shape is won or lost. Buttonholes on a blazer dress carry load. Back them with a strip of interfacing or they tear inside a season. Shoulder pads go in before the lining, and the sleeve head is eased rather than pleated. That is the difference between a clean shoulder and a dent. The front needs a canvassed or well-fused panel. A soft front under a structured shoulder collapses within two wears.

The tailored is where the eye lands first, so it is also where a two-millimetre error shows. Set it from the pattern, not from the sample. Check the tailored after pressing, not before. Light cloth relaxes under steam and what looked balanced on the table can shift.

Tolerances belong on the sheet: plus or minus one centimetre on the body, half a centimetre on the front panel. Get the fit model measurements in the same units as the spec. Mixed units are the most common cause of a rejected first sample. If the buyer sells online, photograph the size chart on real bodies. That reduces returns more than any pattern change we can make.

The sheet we need before costing

What to check before bulk

• Lining cut to the same length as the shell, so the dress climbs when worn.
• Sleeve head pleated instead of eased, giving a pucker that cannot be pressed out.
• Front panel fused too hot, so the cloth shines and the lapel edge shows a ridge.
• A cheap hem shows: three centimetres with a clean catch-stitch reads expensive, one centimetre overlocked reads fast fashion.
• The sample passes on the form and fails on a body: the waist sits high, the armhole cuts, or the sweep is short. Fit on a real model before approving anything.

Lead time is normally 12 to 20 days for a first sample and 30 to 45 days for bulk, depending on stock cloth and handwork. Keep one sealed bulk sample per colour. Six months later it is the only honest reference for a reorder. Schedule an in-line check after the front panel goes on. Catching a rotation there costs minutes; catching it at final costs the order.

Customisation that does not break the price

• Single or double breasted front, without re-cutting the back.
• Shoulder: soft pad, structured pad, or none with a clean finish.
• Vent, back seam, or plain back.
• Lining to match or contrast. Contrast adds a visible detail at the cuff.
• Private label: woven label, care label and hangtag to your artwork.
• Private label: woven label, care label and hangtag to your artwork.

Keep the approved pre-production sample sealed. It is the reference for the in-line check and for the reorder. The pre-production sample has to be cut from the bulk lot, with the bulk trims, on the machine settings bulk will use. The proto is usually made in stock cloth. Do not judge the hand from it; judge the line.
