A ladies tops & dresses order for Cork should be planned backwards from the selling season. Mild, wet weather all year, so layers and fleece sell broadly; peaks include back-to-school in August, Black Friday and Christmas. 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.

Typical buyers of ladies tops & dresses in Cork include online fashion sellers, boutiques and department stores, resort-wear retailers and wholesalers supplying seasonal ranges. In Cork, they usually order 300–500 pieces per design in up to four colours and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Ireland has distinct seasons, so we split ladies tops & dresses into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as rayon challis and viscose crepe 90–130 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as cotton-linen blends for autumn and winter.

Sizes: XS–XXL, 3XL–5XL in plus-size lines; UK 6–24 and US 2–20 sizing on request. Colours: Seasonal prints and solids, 3–6 colourways per design; digital printing for exclusive designs.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make ladies tops & dresses in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Cork market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

Print and fabric are the biggest cost levers. We offer a mix of rayon, cotton and crepe at different price points, and we can recommend fabrics that look premium at an accessible cost.

Women's tops and dresses are a trend business: styles are bought for a season, sold quickly and replaced. That makes flexibility more valuable than the lowest unit price, so we focus on factories that can sample in a week and produce in small runs.
