Wholesale Dress FAQ

Everything boutique owners ask us before their first order — MOQ, pricing, shipping, customs, quality and custom bandage dresses.

Ordering & Minimum Order Quantity

6 pieces total. That is the entire minimum — not 6 per style.

Yes, freely. Six completely different dresses, in six different colours and sizes, is a perfectly valid order.

Yes. There is no per-style minimum. Most first-time buyers order 1 piece x 6 styles to see which ones sell fastest before committing to depth.

Because we run our own production facility for bandage and fashion dresses, and we would rather build a long-term relationship from a 6-piece test than lose you over a 100-piece barrier.

Plenty of our regular accounts started with a single 6-piece order.

Not for catalogue styles — simply order 6 pieces at normal wholesale price and treat that as your sample run.

Custom (OEM) samples are $80–$150 depending on the complexity of the style. The sample fee is refunded once your bulk order for that style reaches 60 pieces.

Yes, subject to stock. Fast-moving styles are restocked regularly; some seasonal pieces do not return. If a style matters to you, tell us and we will flag it before it sells out.

Pricing & Quotes

Most styles fall between $18 and $38 per piece, depending on fabric, construction and embellishment. Jersey and cotton styles sit at the lower end; bandage and heavily embellished styles at the top of the range.

No. Website prices are the wholesale garment price only. Shipping is calculated by weight and destination at checkout.

Yes. Send us your style list and target quantity and we will quote accordingly. Volume tiers depend on the style, so there is no single discount table.

Three ways — whichever is easiest for you:

  1. Browse the catalogue and send us the style codes
  2. Use our Online Quotation form
  3. Send us photos or links on WhatsApp and we will match them to our range

Send us the photo or the link rather than just the code. Style codes are not standard across suppliers, so we would rather match the actual garment than guess and quote you the wrong thing.

Products, Sizing & Fabric

Bandage and bodycon dresses are made in our own facility — that is our core. Alongside that we carry rhinestone, beading, sequin, lace, satin, mesh, jersey, cotton and maxi styles, plus jumpsuits, blazers, suits, skirts, tops and trousers.

Most styles run S / M / L, with XS and XL on selected styles. Our fit follows UK sizing rather than US — worth checking our size guide before you order.

Colour options vary by style and are shown on each product page. If you want a style in a colour that is not listed, ask — sometimes we can source it, sometimes we cannot, and we will tell you honestly which.

Our standard bandage construction is polyester-nylon-spandex — strong recovery, holds its shape through repeated wear.

For premium and luxury positioning we can produce in rayon-nylon-spandex, which has noticeably better hand-feel and drape at a higher cost.

Yes — our maxi, lace, satin and evening categories include full-length and longer-sleeve options. Our core range is fitted, so tell us your market and we will point you to the right categories rather than letting you browse hundreds of styles.

Not as standard on our regular catalogue range. We can arrange certified fabric for an order that requires it — it adds to both the cost and the lead time, so tell us early if certification is a requirement in your market and we will quote it in from the start.

Weekly. You can see the latest drops on our New Arrivals page.

Shipping & Delivery

DHL, FedEx and UPS, with full tracking on every shipment.

We ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) wherever the destination allows it: import duties and taxes are included in what you pay us, so there is nothing to settle when the parcel arrives and nothing that can hold it at customs.

Tell us where the order is going and we will confirm the carrier, the duty-paid total and a realistic transit window before you pay.

Processing: 2–3 business days after payment clears. This includes our final quality check and size confirmation.

Transit: 5–8 business days to most destinations by express. Remote regions and destinations with slower customs can run up to 12 business days.

Orders placed over the weekend begin processing on the next business day.

We ship worldwide. Tell us your destination and we will confirm carrier serviceability and a realistic transit window before you pay — we would rather give you a real number than a generic promise.

Shipping is weight- and destination-based and is calculated at checkout. As a guide, a 6-piece test order is light enough that express shipping stays manageable, and the per-piece shipping cost drops significantly as order size grows.

Yes, on every shipment, sent as soon as the parcel is collected.

Yes. Many buyers consolidate through their own agent in Guangzhou. Give us the forwarder’s address and we will deliver to them.

Customs & Duties

We do, on DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms: duties and taxes are included in what you pay us, so there is nothing for you to settle on arrival.

Rates and thresholds vary by country and change frequently, so tell us your destination and we will quote the duty-paid total before you order. It is always worth confirming current rates with your local customs office or broker as well.

Yes. We provide accurate commercial invoices, HS codes and fibre-content declarations so your broker can clear the shipment without queries.

We cannot advise on duty rates — that is your broker’s job — but we make sure the paperwork is never the reason for a delay.

We will supply any additional documentation your broker requests, immediately. We cannot control clearance timelines in your country, but we will not leave you to deal with it alone.

Since the de minimis exemption ended, duties apply to commercial dress shipments regardless of value. We wrote a full walkthrough here: How to Import Dresses from China to the USA.

Payment

PayPal, Wise, bank transfer (T/T), Xtransfer and Western Union.

Yes, absolutely. PayPal is the easiest option for first orders and samples — we will send you an invoice.

First orders are paid in full upfront. Once we have completed a few orders together and know each other’s rhythm, we are happy to discuss more flexible terms.

Quality & Returns

Every order is inspected twice — once after production or sourcing, and again before packing. We also confirm sizes with you before the parcel is sealed.

We tell you immediately and offer alternatives. We never substitute a different size or colour without your permission — an unexpected substitution costs you a sale and costs us your trust.

Photograph the issue and send it to us within 7 days of delivery. On confirmed defects we issue a credit or a replacement. Full terms are on our Refund Policy page.

No — we cannot accept returns for change of mind or slow sell-through. That is exactly why our minimum is 6 pieces: test small, then reorder what works.

Dropshipping

Yes. We ship single units directly to your customers worldwide, so you do not need to hold stock.

No. You pay the same per-piece wholesale price on a dropship order as you would on a bulk order — there is no single-unit surcharge on the garment. Shipping is quoted per parcel to your customer’s address.

No. Our garments carry no Winsome Fashion branding — no brand labels, no logos. Parcels arrive plain, so your customer sees your brand, not ours.

If you want your own woven labels and hangtags added, that is handled through our OEM service.

Essentially our whole catalogue. If a specific style is ever unavailable for single-unit fulfilment we will tell you before you list it.

Custom Bandage Dresses & Private Label

Yes — custom bandage dresses are our speciality. We make them in our own Guangzhou facility on bandage knit, and can change the cut, length, neckline, straps, colour and bandage panelling, and add beading or rhinestone details. Full details on our OEM & Wholesale page.
Yes, for bandage styles — that is a normal part of our process. Reference photos are fine, including AI-generated images, as long as the design can be made in bandage fabric. The more detail you give on fit and finishing, the closer the first sample will land.
60 pieces per style and colour to start.
Sample: 7–10 days. Bulk production after sample approval: 10–20 days, depending on quantity.

Yes — woven labels, hangtags, care labels and custom polybags or boxes on bulk orders.

We stay with what we do well. We do not develop custom lace or appliqué, all-over hand embroidery or beadwork, feather work, or couture gowns that depend on fabrics made from scratch. Many AI-generated designs fall into this group — they look achievable in a picture but need a fabric that does not exist yet. Bandage dresses with beading or rhinestone details are fine; the bandage base is what we know.

Catalogue styles are available to all buyers — we will not pretend otherwise. For custom OEM designs developed from your own artwork, the design is yours and we do not sell it to anyone else.

We do not operate exclusive country distributors for our catalogue range, so there is no channel conflict to worry about. If you are building serious volume in one market and want to discuss a closer arrangement, talk to us.

Working With Us

Both, honestly. We own and operate a production facility in Guangzhou for bandage and fashion dresses — that is where our core range is made, and you are welcome to visit.

For categories outside that (sequin, lace, satin, heavy embellishment) we produce through a network of factories we have worked with for years. Either way, the order ships from us, inspected by us, with one person accountable to you.

Yes, anytime. Let us know your dates and we will arrange it. If you are sourcing in Guangzhou we can also help you plan the rest of your trip.

Since 2015 — 11 years in the Guangzhou wholesale dress trade.

Online boutique owners, physical dress shops, rental boutiques, fashion entrepreneurs launching a first collection, and multi-brand retailers. Our markets are strongest in the USA and Latin America, and we are actively growing in Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.

Yes. One person handles your account — quotes, orders, restocks and new arrivals. No ticket queue.

Still have a question? Send us the styles you are interested in and we will come back with pricing, availability and a shipping estimate — usually within one business day.
