Shirt Dress Customization Program for Airlines and Cruise Lines with Pleating
Shirt Dress Customization Program for Airlines and Cruise Lines
This programme covers the full path from a shirt dress concept to repeatable bulk supply for airlines and cruise lines. The build starts from everyday-casual references — shirt dress in fleece-back cotton — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most shirt dress buyers arrive with one of these problems: colour faded after a few washes, or wholesale costs squeezed the retail margin. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

How we produce it
- Tech pack review, fabric confirmation and lab dip approval
- Pattern, grading and a Fleece-Back Cotton-spec prototype
- Fit sample and wearer test, then pre-production sign-off
- Bulk cutting with pleating applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 check and packing
Quality control
Every bulk lot is compared against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and wash behaviour. Shirt Dress reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for GOTS, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 7 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 4 days each.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 500 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
