Garden Party Winter Dress: High Neck Tiered in French Linen

Garden Party Winter Dress: High Neck Tiered in French Linen

This Garden Party Winter Dress: High Neck Tiered in French Linen is developed for brands that need one dress to stay identical across seasons, colourways and reorders. The specification below — French Linen body, High Neck neckline, ruffle strap and a mini 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 French Linen, the cloth behaves like this: breathable with a crisp hand that softens with every wash. 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 — Tiered cut, balanced for movement and for how the dress sits when the wearer is seated.
• Neckline — High Neck, 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 — Hidden Side Pockets, placed to specification and costed per position.
• Length — Mini Length, adjustable in 2 cm steps from the base spec.
• Colourway — Soft Black, Pantone TCX matched with lab dips before cutting.

Specification

Fabric Notes

We source French Linen 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 mini 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 Tiered holds its shape best with 3% elastane in the shell; for winter 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 Soft Black plus trims and hardware sourced to match
3. Pattern making from your block, then grading across the size set
4. First prototype in French Linen 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. Tonal Embroidery and finishing under in-line inspection
8. Final AQL 2.5 inspection, pressing and packing to your barcode specification

Styling & Occasions

Built for Garden Party — light colours and breathable cloth for outdoor hours. Typical customer profiles for this specification:

• Boutique labels building a signature dress silhouette that reorders each season
• Bridal-party and occasion programmes requiring matched shades across sizes
• Retail chains covering a core colour plus two seasonal shades
• Resort and cruise collections where crease recovery matters more than weight

Styling: wear it alone with flat sandals for day, or with a structured layer and heels for evening. The winter 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 winter 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.

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.

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.

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 150 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.
