Minimums, samples and pricing
Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per style. Custom-printed fabric can carry its own minimum, so the quote confirms the minimum for your exact spec.
The price depends mainly on the fabric, how much of it the style uses, lining, pleating and quantity. Read what MOQ means, or see how our pricing works.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom skirts?
Typically 50 pieces per style. Custom-printed fabric can affect it, so the exact minimum is confirmed in your quote.
Which fabric holds pleats best?
Polyester and polyester blends hold heat-set pleats best. Natural fibres such as cotton can be pleated, but the pleats soften with washing.
Can you print my own pattern on the fabric?
Yes. Send the print file and we confirm the printing method and any fabric minimum in your quote.
Do you make tennis skirts?
Yes, in performance stretch fabrics, with built-in shorts if you want a skort.
How long does a sample take?
Samples typically take 2–3 weeks, and the sample cost is stated in your quote. Once you approve the sample, bulk orders are usually delivered 3–4 weeks from the order date, including shipping.
