How to request a minimum order quantity for custom dresses
For a custom dress, send the number of pieces you want in each colour, then break each colour down by size. Ask the factory to confirm which minimum applies to that specific design and fabric.
Can two colours count towards one minimum?
Ask for the minimum order quantity (MOQ) per style and per colour in writing. Two colours can share a dress pattern, but a custom dye lot, matching lining or dyed trim can have its own minimum. Include the fabric reference when you ask. If your split is too small, ask for a second quote using an available fabric colour.
How do I show my size split?
For example, a buyer wants 120 dresses in one silhouette. Black accounts for 80 pieces and plum for 40. A quote for 120 black dresses would answer a different question.
| Colour | S | M | L | Pieces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | 20 | 40 | 20 | 80 |
| Plum | 10 | 20 | 10 | 40 |
What should I ask about the sample charge?
Ask for the cost of one sample in your base size. Check whether the price covers pattern development, the specified fabric and trims, one round of fit changes and delivery. If a sample credit is offered on a bulk order, ask which order quantity qualifies and how the credit appears on the quote.
What dates should I put in the enquiry?
Give your sample review date, the date the finished dresses need to arrive and the delivery country. Ask when the sample clock starts and whether the bulk estimate starts after fabric confirmation or after you approve the fit. Request separate estimates for production and transit.
Request a quote for your own split
In the custom brief, enter the total under “Total quantity requested”. Put your colour and size breakdown in the sizing notes. Attach a reference photo if you have one. YUXINQI confirms quantities, price and timing for the design you submit.
