Estimate, not a quote
A planning range before you ask a factory. The price you pay is the one the factory quotes, and you pay the factory directly.

How we got these: the live calculator’s base price × mid-range fabric (×1.00) × standard construction (×1.00) × the quantity band (×1.20, ×1.00, ×0.88, ×0.78). Estimates, not quotes: fabric, trims and your tech pack move the number, and the factory quotes you directly. Linings, pleats, smocking and hand finishing move a dress towards the top of the range.
Where it gets made
Dresses and wovens can start in London, where sampling and pattern cutting sit, and run in bulk there or in Manchester’s cut and sew factories. We place your brief with whichever factory in our group fits.
Before you send
None of this is required to send a brief: send what you have and we ask for the rest. The more you tick, the faster a factory can quote.
No tech pack? We make one for £79 per style in 3–5 working days, with 2–3 revision rounds. How it works

Typical UK cut, make and trim prices are £14–32 for a dress, fabric not included. The calculator estimate for a full-package dress at 100–300 pieces is £21.60–45.60 per piece. The factory quotes you directly once it has your tech pack.
Try the cost calculatorYes. You can start with a sample or pattern in London. If the bulk run fits a factory in another town better, we tell you before anything is agreed and place it there.
Clothing manufacturers in LondonYes. If you need GOTS, OEKO-TEX or GRS, say so in the brief and we only place it with factories that can show a current certificate for that product.
