How to Get Dresses Made
Updated August 27, 2020
The traditional process for getting dresses made entails creating a pattern, dying fabric, then cutting and sewing a batch of dresses according to the pattern. This process requires planning, manufacturing lead time, and an initial investment typically above $500. Why invest time and money before you've proven the concept?
Get Dresses Made One at a Time
Technology now allows printing techniques that are low enough in cost that you can develop your own apparel line on a dime. Sublimation printing is a heat process that permanently changes the color of fabric, and is used to create all over print designs. Sublimated dresses can be made by printing a design on a sheet of material and then cutting and sewing the dress together. Polyester, spandex and non-cotton materials are ideal for this printing technique. While we typically create on-demand dresses using direct to garment or sublimation techniques, we have a variety of options depending on your project.
Sleeveless Cut and Sew Dress
The sleeveless cut and sew dress is a lightweight fitted dress ideal for warm weather months.
The cut and sew dress pictured above is typically printed in 1-2 days and shipping takes 3 days on average (but up to 7). Our preferred printer of this dress has a Shopify integration that allows you to use print on demand technology and automate your store's backend. The print on demand approach also eliminates the need for (and cost of) inventory.
