Travel Capsule Maxi Dress: Off-the-Shoulder Belted Waist in Cotton-Poly Blend

Travel Capsule Maxi Dress: Off-the-Shoulder Belted Waist in Cotton-Poly Blend

This Travel Capsule Maxi Dress: Off-the-Shoulder Belted Waist in Cotton-Poly Blend is developed for brands that need one dress to stay identical across seasons, colourways and reorders. The specification below — Cotton-Poly Blend body, Off-the-Shoulder neckline, long fitted sleeve and a maxi length hem — is written into the tech pack before sampling starts, so the approved sample and the bulk shipment are the same garment.

Built in Cotton-Poly Blend, the cloth behaves like this: selected for handle, drape and wash stability in repeat production. We confirm the fabric lot, run lab dips for your shade and keep a reference swatch against every future order, which is what stops the drift most private-label programmes suffer after the second reorder.

Design Details

• Silhouette — Belted Waist cut, balanced for movement and for how the dress sits when the wearer is seated.
• Neckline — Off-the-Shoulder, finished clean on the inside so it holds its line after washing.
• Sleeve — Long Fitted Sleeve, graded across the full size set so armhole depth stays proportional.
• Detail — Wrap Tie Front, placed to specification and costed per position.
• Length — Maxi Length, adjustable in 2 cm steps from the base spec.
• Colourway — Classic Red, Pantone TCX matched with lab dips before cutting.

Specification

Fabric Notes

We source Cotton-Poly Blend against your price target, then confirm weight, shrinkage and hand feel before a metre is cut. Because the bulk lot is reserved at sampling stage, the approved sample reflects what the finished shipment will feel like — not a substitute cloth. Wash-test results for shrinkage and colour fastness are recorded on the first bulk lot and kept as the reference for reorders.

Size & Fit Guide

Measurements below are garment measurements in centimetres with standard ease for maxi length. Send us your own block and we grade to it, including height-adjusted lengths and regional size conversions for EU, UK and US charts.

Fit notes: the Belted Waist holds its shape best with 2% elastane in the shell; for maxi dress we recommend a size-set fit session before grading, so the waist placement sits correctly on the shortest and tallest sizes in the run.

Production Process

1. Tech pack review and fabric confirmation against your target price
2. Lab dips for Classic Red plus trims and hardware sourced to match
3. Pattern making from your block, then grading across the size set
4. First prototype in Cotton-Poly Blend with the Wrap Tie Front detail applied
5. Fit session, revision, then a pre-production sample in bulk fabric
6. Bulk cutting with marker efficiency controlled to limit shade variation
7. Beading and Embroidery and finishing under in-line inspection
8. Final AQL 2.5 inspection, pressing and packing to your barcode specification

Styling & Occasions

Built for Travel Capsule — one dress that covers several occasions across a trip. Typical customer profiles for this specification:

• Boutique labels building a signature dress silhouette that reorders each season
• Resort and cruise collections where crease recovery matters more than weight
• Private-label sellers needing a reliable size run with consistent grading
• Bridal-party and occasion programmes requiring matched shades across sizes

Styling: wear it alone with flat sandals for day, or with a structured layer and heels for evening. The maxi dress reads casual or formal depending on the accessories, which is why it sits well in a small capsule range.

Quality Control

Every bulk order is checked against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and workmanship. We record shrinkage, colour fastness and seam strength on the first bulk lot and hold the data as the reference for reorders, so maxi dress batches stay comparable over time. Inspection photos and the measurement report are sent before the balance payment is due.

FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

This dress programme starts at 200 pieces per style and colourway. Sizes can be split across a size set, and for a first order we can often mix colourways so you can test demand before committing to one shade.

Can you develop my own pattern?

Yes. Send a tech pack, a reference garment or even clear photos, and we will draft the block, grade it across your size set and produce a fit sample before bulk.

What files do you need for prints and embroidery?

Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) gives the cleanest result. For raster artwork please supply 300 dpi at final print size. Embroidery is digitised in-house and we return a sew-out photo for approval.

How do you control colour consistency?

Lab dips are approved before bulk dyeing and the approved reference is kept on file. Bulk shade is checked within the agreed tolerance band against that reference on every repeat order.

How does shipping work?

We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Bulk normally ships by consolidated sea freight, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
