Velvet Khaleeji Arabic Evening Dresses - Custom Made

The Arabic search phrase فساتين سهرة خليجية قطيفة is the kind of query that lands in a factory inbox with a screenshot and a price, and nothing else. Unpacked, it names a length, a cloth and a finish - and those three decisions fix most of the cost before a single sample is cut.

In production these are velvet evening dresses in the khaleeji direction. Velvet has a nap. Mark every panel and never mix directions, or the dress photographs two-tone - and it can only be pressed on a velvet board. A ball gown carries a boned bodice and a skirt built from layers: tulle or organza over a crinoline, with the volume set by the number of layers rather than by the fabric weight.

Khaleeji styling means coverage plus drama - long sleeves or a cape, a heavily worked bodice, and a skirt with real sweep for a hall or a marquee.

What Has To Be Specified

• Shell: Velvet, hand and weight approved on a physical swatch - imported evening cloth rarely matches a screen.
• Block: Ball Gown bodice, fitted on a real model at the middle size before grading.
• Colour: name the exact tone and send a swatch. In this category a photo is not a colour reference.
• 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.

Grading is where the money disappears: every detail placed by eye on the sample has to be measured on the pattern, or the size run drifts.

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

Options We Can Build To

• Lining: unlined bodice with a lined skirt, half-lined, or fully lined - the last one changes the hand and the cost together.
• Shell swap: the same block in a lighter or heavier version of the base cloth, priced separately.
• Packing: flat-fold with tissue, hanger-ready, or individual sealed bag for glitter and bead styles.
• Packing: flat-fold with tissue, hanger-ready, or individual sealed bag for glitter and bead styles.

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.
