Pique Knit Fabric with Powder Coating for Dresses
This pique knit fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the powder coating surface, the 240 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps dresses consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or shrinkage that only showed up after the first wash. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
