Strapless Dress — Sheath Silhouette in Interlock Knit with Hidden Side Pockets

Strapless Dress — Sheath Silhouette in Interlock Knit with Hidden Side Pockets

This Strapless Dress — Sheath Silhouette in Interlock Knit with Hidden Side Pockets is developed for brands that need one dress to stay identical across seasons, colourways and reorders. The specification below — Interlock Knit body, Deep V Cross Front neckline, lantern 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 Interlock Knit, 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 — Sheath 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 — Lantern Sleeve, graded across the full size set so armhole depth stays proportional.
• Detail — Hidden Side Pockets, placed to specification and costed per position.
• Length — Maxi Length, adjustable in 2 cm steps from the base spec.
• Colourway — Coral Peach, Pantone TCX matched with lab dips before cutting.

Fabric Notes

We source Interlock 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 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 Sheath holds its shape best with 3% elastane in the shell; for strapless 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 Coral Peach plus trims and hardware sourced to match
3. Pattern making from your block, then grading across the size set
4. First prototype in Interlock Knit with the Hidden Side Pockets 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. Lace Trim Application 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:

• Resort and cruise collections where crease recovery matters more than weight
• Capsule collections where one block is developed across several fabrics
• Boutique labels building a signature dress silhouette that reorders each season
• Private-label sellers needing a reliable size run with consistent grading

Styling: wear it alone with flat sandals for day, or with a structured layer and heels for evening. The strapless 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 strapless dress batches stay comparable over time. Inspection photos and the measurement report are sent before the balance payment is due.

FAQ

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.

Which compliance documents can you provide?

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

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype in Interlock Knit is typically ready 12 working days after the tech pack is confirmed. Revisions add roughly 5 days each, and we send fit photos at every stage.
