Maxi Dress with Cold-Shoulder and Ruffle Hem in Lace

Maxi Dress with Cold-Shoulder and Ruffle Hem in Lace

This Maxi Dress with Cold-Shoulder and Ruffle Hem in Lace is developed for brands that need one dress to stay identical across seasons, colourways and reorders. The specification below — Lace body, V-Neck neckline, cold-shoulder 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 Lace, the cloth behaves like this: patterned openwork, applied as a full body or as trims and inserts. 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 — Wrap Front cut, balanced for movement and for how the dress sits when the wearer is seated.
• Neckline — V-Neck, finished clean on the inside so it holds its line after washing.
• Sleeve — Cold-Shoulder, graded across the full size set so armhole depth stays proportional.
• Detail — Ruffle Hem, placed to specification and costed per position.
• Length — Maxi Length, adjustable in 2 cm steps from the base spec.
• Colourway — Emerald Green, Pantone TCX matched with lab dips before cutting.

Specification

Fabric Notes

We source Lace 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 Wrap Front holds its shape best with 3% 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 Emerald Green plus trims and hardware sourced to match
3. Pattern making from your block, then grading across the size set
4. First prototype in Lace with the Ruffle Hem 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. Ultrasonic Welding and finishing under in-line inspection
8. Final AQL 2.5 inspection, pressing and packing to your barcode specification

Styling & Occasions

Built for Weekend Brunch — relaxed ease with enough structure to look considered. Typical customer profiles for this specification:

• Bridal-party and occasion programmes requiring matched shades across sizes
• Boutique labels building a signature dress silhouette that reorders each season
• Private-label sellers needing a reliable size run with consistent grading
• Capsule collections where one block is developed across several fabrics

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

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype in Lace is typically ready 7 working days after the tech pack is confirmed. Revisions add roughly 4 days each, and we send fit photos at every stage.

Which compliance documents can you provide?

We can arrange BSCI documentation and third-party test reports for the relevant market, including REACH and CPSIA declarations when needed.

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.

Can you match my existing size chart?

We frequently work from a client's own block. Send your grade rules and measurements and we grade to them, then produce a size-set sample for confirmation before cutting bulk.

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.
