Two important questions new indie brand needs your help ;)
Hello again!
Thanks for your help so far. I really learned a lot.But i need your assistance one more time :D
I plan my next steps for my indie label at the moment. So i have two important questions. If you need any more informations just ask ^__^
1. Would you accept a pre-order phase for a printed dress?
I want to offer three size groups for onesize items with shirring. For other items, without shirring/multi-size items i want to offer customization and three standard sizes. And i want also to offer 4 color choices of the dresses with my own print (you can see it on our facebook page: http://facebook.com/starpirates)
Before the Pre-Order phase starts i will sew preview items. This should be clear :) They will be shown on different models. One with a onepiece, one model with the jsk (and a blouse) and the other with the skirt (and another blouse xD). Every piece will have one other color way. In my opinion it's the best way to show the dresses. You will have to pay 50% of the total price. After i finished the dress/skirt you have to pay the other 50%.
Would that be ok? Because i often read that a pre-order phase isn't ok for an indie brand. I also can show my other projects, some reviews and some comissions as an example of my work and as a proof that i can sew and design :)
2. What would you pay for a printed skirt, jsk or/and onepiece from an indie brand?
It will be well printed and well sewn. The quality will be good of course. The Dresses will have a lining. The items will be made of cotton fabrics. The different laces will be made of cotton, too. All seams will be checked twice.
I'm calculating a lot and want to minimize the costs, so i can offer a nice item for a fair price.
