Velvet Mermaid Elegant Arabic Evening Dress Style with Satin Accents - Wholesale

When a request arrives with موديل فستان سهرة سمكة قطيفة راقية 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 this is a velvet evening dress in the elegant 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 mermaid silhouette is fitted from the bust to just below the knee and flares from there. The knee break is the whole fitting: 3 cm either way and the dress either walks or it does not.

Elegant usually means restraint at the neckline and length at the hem, with the money spent on the fabric and the bodice construction rather than on surface decoration.

What Has To Be Specified

• Shell: Velvet, hand and weight approved on a physical swatch - imported evening cloth rarely matches a screen.
• Block: Mermaid 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.

Where This Style Goes Wrong In Production

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 mermaid silhouette is fitted from the bust to just below the knee and flares from there. The knee break is the whole fitting: 3 cm either way and the dress either walks or it does not.

Pressing decides the finish. Satin and taffeta take a needle mark in a second, and no amount of QC takes it out afterwards.

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

• Beading: hand-applied, machine-guided, or replaced with embroidery at a lower density and a lower price.
• Closure: invisible zip, exposed zip, corset lace-up or button placket, each with its own sample requirement.
• Closure: invisible zip, exposed zip, corset lace-up or button placket, each with its own sample requirement.
• Shell swap: the same block in a lighter or heavier version of the base cloth, priced separately.

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.
