Fabric choices I use often Viscose/rayon: great drape, strong summer story, but shrinkage control is critical Cotton poplin: crisp A-line shape, good for shirt A-line, print can look very clean Chiffon: romantic and light, but needs lining and careful seam finishing Satin: premium shine, but print shading and snag risk are real Polyester crepe: stable supply, good for digital prints, easy care Print methods and what they mean in bulk Reactive print: strong color on cellulosic fibers, better wash performance Pigment print: often cheaper, but hand feel can be dry and color can look flat Disperse/sublimation: common for polyester, sharp details, but heat setting control matters Digital print: great for small runs and complex designs, but batch-to-batch consistency needs strict control Rotary/screen print: stable for volume, but setup cost is higher and colors are limited Quality tests I care about for printed dresses Wash colorfastness and crocking Light fastness for summer outdoor use Shrinkage after wash and steam Print penetration on darker grounds Shade banding between rolls A simple fabric + method matching table How do I manage color, strike-offs, and consistency across bulk production
