How do I find a reliable kurti and dress-material manufacturer for my shop?
Short answer
Shortlist manufacturers who specialise in what you sell, ask for samples, check fabric, stitching and colour against the sample, and start with a modest trial order before committing to bulk. Agree minimum order quantities, lead times, payment terms and what happens with defects in writing. Anandi Dresses, a DCPL Group venture in Surat, manufactures kurtis, unstitched suits, velvet fabrics and dupattas for wholesale buyers.

What to check in a manufacturer
- Specialisation: a maker focused on kurtis and dress materials usually understands fabrics, fits and seasonal trends better than a general trader.
- Samples: inspect fabric feel, colour fastness, print quality, stitching and finishing, and keep the sample to compare with your bulk delivery.
- Quality control: ask how pieces are checked before dispatch and how defective pieces are handled.
- Custom designs: if you want your own range, ask whether they take customised designs and what quantities that needs.
- Clear terms: minimum order quantity, lead time, payment terms, GST invoicing and transport should all be agreed in writing.
- References: speak to other retailers who buy from them, or visit the unit if you can.
How technology helps buyers and makers
- 1Browse a manufacturer's online wholesale catalogue to see current designs before visiting or calling.
- 2Shortlist styles and share them with the supplier on WhatsApp, with design details attached.
- 3Place repeat bulk orders through an online ordering system instead of long phone calls.
- 4Keep a record of past orders so reordering bestsellers is quick.
