Nouvelle VagueFrom Vision to Fashion

Dresses, made to your pattern and your numbers.

Dresses are the core of most womenswear ranges and the category where fit, drape and finishing show most. We develop them from a tech pack, a sketch or a reference garment, sample in-house, and produce in the quantity your range plan needs.

Dresses, answered.

What is the minimum order for dresses?
100 pcs per style, flexible
Can you make a dress from a photo or a reference garment?
Yes. Our pattern team works from a tech pack, a sketch or a reference garment. From a reference, we take measurements, propose a pattern and send a proto sample for your fit comments.
Do you make lined dresses?
Yes. Tell us whether you want a full lining, a bodice-only lining or none, and the lining fabric, and it is built into the costing and sample.
Can one dress style be split across colours and sizes?
Yes. Quantities are planned per style and colour, then split across your size ratio. Ask us how the minimum applies to your style.

You bring the vision.
We'll make it real.

Send a tech pack, sketch or idea with the quantity you need. You'll get costing and a sampling plan.
