Drop Waist Suit Dress with Back Tie Detail in Power Mesh

Drop Waist Suit Dress with Back Tie Detail in Power Mesh

This Drop Waist Suit Dress with Back Tie Detail in Power Mesh is developed for brands that need one dress to stay identical across seasons, colourways and reorders. The specification below — Power Mesh body, Sweetheart neckline, bell sleeve and a midi 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 Power Mesh, 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 — Drop Waist cut, balanced for movement and for how the dress sits when the wearer is seated.
• Neckline — Sweetheart, finished clean on the inside so it holds its line after washing.
• Sleeve — Bell Sleeve, graded across the full size set so armhole depth stays proportional.
• Detail — Back Tie Detail, placed to specification and costed per position.
• Length — Midi Length, adjustable in 2 cm steps from the base spec.
• Colourway — Navy Blue, Pantone TCX matched with lab dips before cutting.

Specification

Fabric Notes

We source Power Mesh 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 midi 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 Drop Waist holds its shape best with 5% elastane in the shell; for suit 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 Navy Blue plus trims and hardware sourced to match
3. Pattern making from your block, then grading across the size set
4. First prototype in Power Mesh with the Back Tie Detail 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 Weekend Brunch — relaxed ease with enough structure to look considered. 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
• 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 suit 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 suit dress batches stay comparable over time. Inspection photos and the measurement report are sent before the balance payment is due.

FAQ

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.

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.

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.

What is the minimum order quantity?

This dress programme starts at 50 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.

Which compliance documents can you provide?

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