Set Dress with Ruffle Strap and Detachable Belt in Rib Knit

Set Dress with Ruffle Strap and Detachable Belt in Rib Knit

This Set Dress with Ruffle Strap and Detachable Belt in Rib Knit is developed for brands that need one dress to stay identical across seasons, colourways and reorders. The specification below — Rib Knit body, Deep V Cross Front neckline, ruffle strap and a tea 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 Rib Knit, the cloth behaves like this: body-hugging vertical stretch with clean recovery at the waist. 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 — Trapeze cut, balanced for movement and for how the dress sits when the wearer is seated.
• Neckline — Deep V Cross Front, finished clean on the inside so it holds its line after washing.
• Sleeve — Ruffle Strap, graded across the full size set so armhole depth stays proportional.
• Detail — Detachable Belt, placed to specification and costed per position.
• Length — Tea Length, adjustable in 2 cm steps from the base spec.
• Colourway — Sage Green, Pantone TCX matched with lab dips before cutting.

Specification

Fabric Notes

We source Rib Knit 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 tea 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 Trapeze holds its shape best with 3% 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 Sage Green plus trims and hardware sourced to match
3. Pattern making from your block, then grading across the size set
4. First prototype in Rib Knit with the Detachable Belt 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. Pantone Color Matching and finishing under in-line inspection
8. Final AQL 2.5 inspection, pressing and packing to your barcode specification

Styling & Occasions

Built for Holiday Season — rich colour depth and trims that hold their finish. 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
• Resort and cruise collections where crease recovery matters more than weight
• 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

Which compliance documents can you provide?

We can arrange ISO 9001 documentation and third-party test reports for the relevant market, including REACH and CPSIA declarations when needed.

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.

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.

What is the minimum order quantity?

This dress programme starts at 80 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.
