TUER supports custom linen womenswear development for fashion brands, from fabric sourcing and sampling to production and quality checks. The starting point is your design, intended fit and quality brief.

This guide explains the options to discuss for linen dresses, tops, bottoms and coordinated collections. For the full category overview, visit Linen Apparel manufacturing.

Make the Fabric Brief Specific

Describe the look and performance you need: fibre composition, weight, texture, colour, drape and intended care. Include a physical reference where possible. A linen blend and pure linen should not be treated as interchangeable simply because they look similar in a photograph.

TUER can source European Flax-certified linen fabric options, subject to the selected supplier, fabric and supporting documents. Confirm the applicable certificate and permitted claim during sourcing. Availability of a certified fabric option does not mean TUER itself or every finished garment is certified.

Agree which fabric reference the quotation and sample use, then approve any substitution before proceeding.

Develop Your Linen Garment Range

Build your category brief around the garment’s use. A linen dress may need lining and coverage checks; a shirt may need collar and placket review; trousers require an agreed waistband, rise and pocket construction. For modest womenswear, also discuss sleeve length, neckline, opacity, slit position and movement.

Construction and Finishing Options

Options to discuss include fabric preshrinking, enzyme or sand washing, air softening, French seams, bound seams and reinforcement at relevant stress points. Special finishes are reviewed for the selected material and design.

These are project options, not a standard treatment applied to every garment. Confirm the intended handfeel and appearance through samples, and agree how dimensions will be checked after the proposed care or finishing process.

Print Development

TUER can arrange reactive digital, pigment digital, screen and discharge printing options where suitable. The choice depends on the fabric, artwork, quantity and approved trial. Agree colour, placement, handfeel and required checks rather than assuming all print methods produce the same result.

Work From an Approved Sample

Use one written approval record to connect the fabric, construction, fit and finishing decisions. It should identify the sample version and any changes required before production.

For linen dresses, review closures, lining, neckline and hem; for tops, check sleeve and collar details; for bottoms, review waist, rise and seat. Define measurement tolerances and any fabric or garment tests that matter to your market and design.

Our sample and reorder checklist explains what to keep in the approval file.

Plan Quantities and Working Days

TUER’s MOQ is 200 pieces per style for one colour, or 150 pieces per colour when a style is ordered in two or more colours. With MOQ met, up to four sizes can be included; you allocate the quantities. Additional sizes require discussion.

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 the schedule confirmed per order. Shipping is separate.

Review the service stages and FAQs when preparing your timeline.
