Taffeta Arabic Evening Dresses in Burgundy or Wine

When a request arrives with فساتين السهرة تافتا عنابي in it, the useful first question is not the price. It is which of these attributes the buyer actually intends to sell on.

In production these are taffeta evening dresses, cut in burgundy. Taffeta is crisp and it remembers. Every pin hole stays, so the sample has to be handled like the bulk will be. A sheath evening dress is straight and close, with a walking vent at the back and a lining that has to be cut a few millimetres shorter than the shell so it does not hang below the hem.

Burgundy hides construction and shows lint. Plan a roller and a covered bag into the packing line.

What Has To Be Specified

• Shell: Taffeta, hand and weight approved on a physical swatch - imported evening cloth rarely matches a screen.
• Block: Sheath bodice, fitted on a real model at the middle size before grading.
• Colour: Burgundy, with a lab dip approved against a physical swatch under both D65 and warm indoor light.
• Bodice structure: say whether the bodice is boned, fused, or soft. This single line decides the fit, the price and the packing.
• Lining: state bodice lining, skirt lining and whether the skirt is bagged out at the hem.
• Closure: name the type and position - invisible zip, lace-up back, or covered button placket.
• Sizing: give the size run, the grade rule and the fit model. A Gulf 2XL is not a European 2XL.
• Care: dry-clean-only is normal here; if the trim cannot survive solvent, say so before the label is printed.

Beading is quoted per panel and bought per gram. A 15% allowance sounds generous until the third size run lands.

Two rolls of the same colour name will not match. Buy one lot, keep a roll reference with the order, and cut the whole run from it.

Options We Can Build To

• Closure: invisible zip, exposed zip, corset lace-up or button placket, each with its own sample requirement.
• Sizing: a four-size test run, a standard eight-size run, or a graded run to your own spec sheet.
• Packing: flat-fold with tissue, hanger-ready, or individual sealed bag for glitter and bead styles.
• Lining: unlined bodice with a lined skirt, half-lined, or fully lined - the last one changes the hand and the cost together.

Pre-production sample approval, in-line inspection during cutting, beading and sewing, and a final AQL inspection before packing, with measurement reports and photos shared before shipment.
