Set Dress in Seersucker with Half Sleeve and Lace Trim Hem

Set Dress in Seersucker with Half Sleeve and Lace Trim Hem

This Set Dress in Seersucker with Half Sleeve and Lace Trim Hem is developed for brands that need one dress to stay identical across seasons, colourways and reorders. The specification below — Seersucker body, V-Neck neckline, half 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 Seersucker, the cloth behaves like this: puckered weave that lifts off the skin in humid weather. 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 — Swing 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 — Half Sleeve, graded across the full size set so armhole depth stays proportional.
• Detail — Lace Trim Hem, placed to specification and costed per position.
• Length — Maxi Length, adjustable in 2 cm steps from the base spec.
• Colourway — Terracotta, Pantone TCX matched with lab dips before cutting.

Specification

Fabric Notes

We source Seersucker 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 Swing holds its shape best with 5% elastane in the shell; for set 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 Terracotta plus trims and hardware sourced to match
3. Pattern making from your block, then grading across the size set
4. First prototype in Seersucker with the Lace Trim 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. Piping and Binding and finishing under in-line inspection
8. Final AQL 2.5 inspection, pressing and packing to your barcode specification

Styling & Occasions

Built for Beach Holiday — slips over swimwear and dries quickly between swims. Typical customer profiles for this specification:

• Retail chains covering a core colour plus two seasonal shades
• Bridal-party and occasion programmes requiring matched shades across sizes
• Private-label sellers needing a reliable size run with consistent grading
• Boutique labels building a signature dress silhouette that reorders each season

Styling: wear it alone with flat sandals for day, or with a structured layer and heels for evening. The set 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 set 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 Seersucker is typically ready 10 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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100 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.

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.

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.
