Wholesale Velvet Bodycon Dress Online

Buyers arrive with a reference photo and a target price. The two numbers that decide whether that price is reachable are the cloth weight and how many seams run through the side panel. Written down, the request is wholesale velvet bodycon dress online: a body, a length and a budget. Those three lines are enough to start a pattern, provided somebody writes the fourth line - the finish. Most of the money in a Wholesale Velvet Bodycon Dress Online sits in three places: the cloth, the side panel, and the labour that keeps the centre front seam flat after pressing. It helps to separate what the customer sees from what the factory feels. The outside is velvet, the inside is structure, and the two have to agree on the same sample.

For velvet, order five to eight percent extra. Cutting around a shade band costs more than the cloth. Under 200 gsm, plan to interface the side panel. Without it, the seam ridge shows through at the first press.

Structure and seams

The build follows the same order on every size. These are the steps where the shape is won or lost. Test elasticity on the cloth: measure how far a 10 cm strip recovers after stretching, and write the number on the sheet. Zip placement decides how the dress goes on. A centre-back zip is neat; a side zip is easier to wear and harder to hide.

The neckline 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. When the brief names the neckline, allow extra cloth and extra time: it is cut from a separate panel and has to be matched for grain.

Get the fit model measurements in the same units as the spec. Mixed units are the most common cause of a rejected first sample. For Bodycon Dresses sold across regions, keep one measurement sheet per market; one market's Large is another market's Medium. A size run that stops at XL will not sell where the middle size is a Large. State the run and the grade rule at quoting, not at shipping.

Failure points worth designing out

• A standard stitch instead of a stretch stitch, giving popped seams after the first wear.
• A fused hem used to control the edge, making it stiff and visibly different from the body.
• Every detail placed by eye on the sample has to be measured on the pattern, or the size run drifts.
• Every detail placed by eye on the sample has to be measured on the pattern, or the size run drifts.

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 side panel goes on. Catching a rotation there costs minutes; catching it at final costs the order. Packing flat or on hangers changes the crease pattern. Decide before the cartons are ordered.

Customisation that does not break the price

• Panel count from four to eight, with a small cost difference per unit.
• Sleeve: sleeveless, cap, or long sleeve in the same cloth.
• Packing: flat-fold with tissue, hanger-ready, or a sealed bag per piece.
• Packing: flat-fold with tissue, hanger-ready, or a sealed bag per piece.

Keep the approved pre-production sample sealed. It is the reference for the in-line check and for the reorder. Sampling runs in three steps: a proto to check proportion, a fit sample to check the body, and a pre-production sample cut from bulk cloth. The proto is usually made in stock cloth. Do not judge the hand from it; judge the line.

A reorder is easier than a first order, provided the approved sample and the measurement sheet were kept together. Send the tech pack as a PDF with a measurement table, not as a photo with notes in a chat. Photos carry intent, tables carry production.
