Planning your ladies tops & dresses order for East London

Seasons are reversed from Europe, with winter from June to August; winter lines are ordered by December and summer lines by June. School uniforms peak in January. 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 18–28 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 East London include online fashion sellers, boutiques and department stores, resort-wear retailers and wholesalers supplying seasonal ranges. In East London, 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.
