For ladies tops & dresses specifically, summer dresses are bought October–February for the northern spring; occasion dresses before festive and wedding seasons. Our lead time is 35–50 days from approved sample, plus sea transit of about 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
