“Low MOQ” is meaningful only when you know what the minimum applies to: a style, colour, fabric or complete order. For custom womenswear, confirm those units before comparing suppliers or planning a capsule collection.
This guide explains TUER’s actual minimums and the questions to ask when evaluating a small production run. It does not offer one-piece production, ready-stock wholesale or an automatic exception for a future large order.
Understand the Unit Behind the Minimum
A collection total can hide several separate production requirements. Two dresses with different patterns are two styles; two colourways of one approved design need a colour breakdown. Fabric, printing and trims may also require project-specific review.
Ask the supplier to show the minimum beside each style and colour. For coordinated sets, clarify whether quantities and prices refer to individual garments or complete sets before interpreting any minimum.
TUER’s Womenswear MOQ
- One colour: 200 pieces per style.
- Two or more colours: 150 pieces per colour for each style.
- Two-colour example: 150 in colour A plus 150 in colour B gives 300 pieces of that style.
- Sizes: up to four sizes when MOQ is met, with quantities allocated by you. Additional sizes require discussion.
Different styles cannot be mixed to reach a single style’s minimum. For example, 100 pieces of one dress and 100 pieces of a different top do not meet the single-colour requirement for either style. Confirm your intended design and materials before using these rules to finalise an order.
See the ordering FAQs for the standard terms.
Compare Manufacturers Using One Brief
Send each suitable supplier the same drawings or tech pack, fabric preferences, colourways, quantities and size breakdown. Ask what sampling, labels, packaging, testing and transport costs are included or separate.
Review relevant samples and construction capability alongside the minimum. A smaller available run is useful only if it still suits the product and your required quality. Our factory selection guide provides a comparison checklist.
Balance Collection Breadth With Order Readiness
If your planned volume is spread across many styles and colours, review the range before requesting exceptions. A focused collection can make sample review and quantity allocation easier, but the design, fabric and commercial decisions remain yours.
Ask which elements drive a project-specific constraint and whether a different approved material or construction changes the quotation. Do not assume a smaller batch is automatically faster or that a future order guarantees a reduced minimum.
Keep sampling separate from the bulk order decision. Approve the actual fabric, fit and workmanship before committing to production quantities.
Plan Time as Well as Quantity
TUER samples normally take 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 timing confirmed per order.
Shipping and sample review time are separate. Share your required delivery date and destination so that material readiness, production and transport can be discussed together. Read the service stages before building your calendar.
Send a Quantity Breakdown That Can Be Reviewed
List each style, colour and size with its proposed units. Include fabric references, construction details and any matching-set requirements. This makes it easier to identify a mismatch before sampling or quotation progresses.
Discuss your custom womenswear order with TUER. For a first collection, use the brand readiness guide to prepare the rest of your enquiry.
