            "content": "Hello,\nMy name is St\u00e9phanie and I am currently developing a new women\u2019s fashion \nbrand based in Switzerland.\nI am looking for a reliable European manufacturing partner to develop and \nproduce our first collection. Rather than developing the entire collection \nat once, I would initially like to start with one signature dress, perfect \nthe fit and construction together, and then develop additional styles with \nthe same manufacturer if the collaboration works well.\nI have attached a visual reference of our first dress concept.\nThe first design is a short satin-effect halter dress, with a clean and \nelegant silhouette:\n\u2013 Above-the-knee length\n\u2013 Fluid, straight fit \u2014 neither tight nor oversized\n\u2013 Premium satin\/silk-like appearance\n\u2013 High halter neckline, tied at the back of the neck\n\u2013 Completely open back, cut very low towards the upper buttocks and slightly \nopen on the sides\n\u2013 Long satin ties falling elegantly down the centre of the back\n\u2013 No waist seam, bow or gathering at the lower back\n\u2013 Initial colours: glossy black, Barbie pink and ivory\nOne particularly important aspect of the project is the integrated bust \nsupport.\nMany women, particularly those with larger breasts, cannot comfortably wear \ntraditional bras with very low-back dresses. I would therefore like to \nexplore the development of an invisible built-in support system that \nprovides genuine support while keeping the back completely open.\nIdeally, I would like to explore a combination of integrated cups or \nremovable cup inserts, an opaque structured front lining to prevent nipple \nvisibility, discreet under-bust support and lateral support integrated into \nthe construction of the dress.\nThe system should be comfortable and aesthetically invisible from the \noutside. I understand that one universal cup cannot realistically provide \nthe same support for every bust size, so I am open to developing different \ninternal constructions or cup options for standard and fuller busts.\nAt this stage, could you please let me know:\n\u2013 Whether your pattern-making team would be able to develop this type of \ndress and integrated support system\n\u2013 Whether you can source suitable premium satin fabrics\n\u2013 Your MOQ per style and per colour\n\u2013 Your pattern-development and sample costs\n\u2013 Estimated sample development time\n\u2013 Estimated production lead time\n\u2013 Indicative unit prices for 30, 50, 100 and 200 pieces\n\u2013 Whether custom woven labels, care labels and packaging can be included\n\u2013 Whether you manufacture everything in your own facility or use \nsubcontractors\n\u2013 Shipping options to Switzerland\nQuality and fit are particularly important to me. I would like to develop \nthe first prototype, test it on different body and bust types, make any \nnecessary adjustments and approve a final pre-production sample before \nplacing the first production order.\nThis dress would be the first development only. Several additional dress \ndesigns are planned for the collection, and I am looking for a manufacturing \npartner with whom we can build a longer-term collaboration if the first \ndevelopment is successful.\nI would be happy to provide additional references, measurements and design \ndetails following your initial feedback.\nThank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.\nKind regards,\nSt\u00e9phanie\nSwitzerland\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided attached files (1000282946_6a61e172cb29e.jpg).

Please specify if this is per style or the total for all styles.\n\n2. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level.

            "content": "Hello,\nThank you very much for your reply and for forwarding the project to your\ntechnical team.\nFor the initial launch, I would like to start relatively small in order to\nvalidate the fit, quality and customer response before increasing\nproduction volumes.\nFor this first dress, I am currently considering approximately 50\u2013100\npieces in total, divided between 2\u20133 colours and several sizes, depending\non your MOQ requirements.\nIf the first production is successful, the objective would be to reorder in\nlarger quantities and develop additional dress styles with you. I already\nhave further designs in development, but I would prefer to perfect this\nfirst product before moving forward with the rest of the collection.\nRegarding the target production price, I would ideally like to remain\nwithin approximately \u20ac15\u201325 per unit, depending on the final fabric,\nconstruction, integrated bust-support solution and order quantity.\nHowever, quality, fit and the effectiveness of the integrated support\nsystem are more important to me than reaching the lowest possible price, so\nI am open to discussing a higher production cost if your technical team\nbelieves it is necessary to achieve the desired result.\nI would particularly appreciate their opinion on the feasibility of\ndeveloping genuine support for fuller busts while maintaining the very low\nand completely open back shown in the reference.\nI am also completely open to developing different internal cup\/support\nconstructions according to bust size if a universal solution would\ncompromise the fit or support.\nOnce the technical feasibility has been confirmed, I would be very\ninterested in developing a first prototype with your team.\nThank you again, and I look forward to hearing your technical team's\nfeedback.\nBest regards,\nSt\u00e9phanie\n\nLe jeu. 23 juil. 2026, 11:40, Matilde Azevedo  a\n\u00e9crit :\n\n> Hello St\u00e9phanie,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and providing the details of your project.
