For a womenswear brand sourcing in Guangzhou, the useful questions are specific: who will develop the sample, where will production take place, which materials are approved, and how will quality be checked? A factory address or a promising quotation alone cannot answer them.

This TUER buyer guide explains what to clarify before placing a custom clothing order. It is an editorial sourcing guide, not an industry interview or an independent ranking of Guangzhou factories.

In this guide: Production responsibility · Development evidence · Approval records · Order planning · Your enquiry

Where Will Your Womenswear Be Made?

Ask for the production location for your actual category and order, including any specialist processes arranged elsewhere. Clarify who coordinates sampling, purchasing, cutting, sewing, finishing and final inspection, and who you will contact if a detail changes.

TUER’s main womenswear production is based in Guangzhou, with additional capacity in Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Tuer Garment is also one of the shareholders in a specialist denim factory in Foshan and a specialist knitwear factory in Dongguan. These are distinct production arrangements; a shareholding does not mean every facility is wholly owned by TUER.

Use the TUER service overview to discuss responsibilities for your project, rather than assuming every process happens at one address.

What Evidence Matters During Development?

Request examples relevant to your garment construction. A suitable dress sample tells you more about lining, neckline coverage and seam finishing than a generic photograph of sewing machines. For tailoring, review the lapel, interfacing, lining and pressing. For tops, review the neckline, placket and sleeve finish.

  • Fabric: record the reference, composition, weight or construction where relevant, colour and proposed finish.
  • Fit: agree measurement points, tolerances and the fit reference; check movement as well as appearance.
  • Workmanship: identify the seams, closures, reinforcement and internal finishing that matter for the design.
  • Communication: keep dated sample comments and an agreed revision list.

Browse dresses, blazers and tops as development references. Gallery images are starting points for a discussion, not confirmation of current stock.

What Should Be Approved Before Bulk Production?

Keep a production file containing the agreed tech pack, fabric and trim references, approved sample, size breakdown, labels, packaging and the latest quotation. When a material or construction changes, record the change and decide whether another sample or test is needed before continuing.

Agree the quality checks and acceptance criteria for the order. Measurements, appearance, seam condition, colour consistency and packaging can be documented separately. If testing or an inspection method is required, specify the method, scope, timing and responsibility rather than using “international quality” as a substitute.

For material or social-responsibility claims, check the document holder, facility, scope and date. A factory audit is not a product certificate, and a certificate held by another entity does not automatically cover every TUER order. See our quality assurance process for the next discussion.

How Should You Plan Quantity and Timing?

TUER’s minimum is 200 pieces per style for a single colour, or 150 pieces per colour when a style uses two or more colours. A two-colour style therefore starts at 300 pieces. Different styles cannot be combined to meet that minimum. Up to four sizes are available when the MOQ is met; you allocate the quantity by size, and additional sizes require discussion.

Sampling normally takes 10–15 working days after all sample details are confirmed. First bulk production normally takes 30–45 working days after order details and styles are confirmed, the deposit is received and fabric is ready. Repeat orders generally take 15–30 working days depending on quantity, with the schedule confirmed per order.

Shipping is separate. Work backwards from your required delivery date and allow time for sample review, revisions, material readiness and transport. Read the ordering FAQs before setting a launch date.

Prepare a Focused Manufacturing Enquiry

Send your garment category, drawings or tech pack, fabric preferences, quantities by style and colour, proposed size range, destination and target delivery date. Include construction details that define your brand’s quality level. If the tech pack is incomplete, identify what still needs development.

Discuss your womenswear project with TUER. We can review the information and clarify the scope before sampling and quotation. For the sequence from design to production, continue with our concept-to-production guide.
