How It Is Built

  • Moulded bust cups faced in burgundy sequin fabric
  • Velvet body cut on a single nap direction across every panel
  • Puffball hem gathered onto a faced inner edge
  • Fine crystal chain straps attached through reinforced bar tacks

What Makes It Hard

  • Velvet is cut one way only, so the marker costs more fabric and we confirm consumption at PP sample stage
  • Sequins are removed from the seam line by hand before joining to the velvet
  • The puffball is set with an inner facing so the hem holds its shape off the mannequin

Who Buys It

  • Occasion and party wear brands
  • Bridal and bridesmaid capsules
  • Premium DTC labels

Making It Yours

What You Can Change On This Style

This is a pattern and a construction, not a catalogue item. The pieces below are the usual changes customers ask for, and none of them restart development from zero.

  • Fabric base, from the Guangzhou market or from your nominated supplier
  • Colour, with trims matched to the approved fabric rather than a colour card
  • Length, neckline, sleeve and hem finish
  • Trim work: beading density, ruffle count, hardware and closures
  • Your woven label, care label, swing tags and packaging
  • Size range graded to your own fit block

Pattern cutting is where a change of length or neckline is absorbed cheaply, before any bulk fabric is spread.
Quality

Four Checks Between Fabric And Carton

The same four stages apply to this style as to every other order.

Fabric

Incoming bulk fabric checked against the cutting taken from your approved sample.

Cut Panels

Shade, grain and panel shape checked before bundles reach the line.

In Line

Random checks during sewing so a fault is caught in tens of pieces rather than hundreds.

Final

Bulk checked against the correct sample, mended and corrected before packing.

FAQ

50 pcs per design per colour. A second colourway of the same style is another 50 pieces.

Can I change the fabric or the colour

Yes. This style is a pattern and a construction, not a fixed product. Fabric, colour, length and trim can all be changed, and the sample is made in your chosen base.

US$35-150 per piece depending on complexity, made in about 5-7 working days. The fee is refunded when the bulk order for this design is over 100 pieces.

What are the exact measurements

Measurements are set on the fit sample and written into your tech pack from there. We publish no size chart for this style because the graded set is built to each customer's fit block.

Will bulk look like the sample

A pre-production sample is made against the final order sheet before bulk is cut, and the approved sample is used again at final inspection as the physical standard.
