Women's clothing is driven by fit, fabric and fast-changing trends, so the supplier's size grading and lead times matter as much as the unit cost. Buy small test quantities of each style before committing to depth, because sell-through varies far more than in staple categories.

Sizing is the largest source of returns in women's wear. Ask which size standard the supplier grades to (UK, US, EU or Asian cuts differ noticeably) and request a measurement chart in centimetres or inches for every style, not a generic letter size. Ask whether the sample you saw was made on the same pattern as bulk production, since grading errors often appear only at the extremes of the range. Plus-size and petite lines usually need their own patterns rather than scaled-up standard ones, so check that the supplier does this properly.
Request the fibre content for each style and check it against the label. Viscose, polyester blends, cotton knits and wovens behave differently in washing, so ask about shrinkage, colourfastness and pilling. Inspect seams, hems, zips and linings on a physical sample. Sheer fabrics, light colours and prints are where defects show most. Ask about the supplier's quality control: inline checks during production, a final inspection, and what happens when a batch fails.
Textile labels must show fibre composition and care instructions, and the rules differ by market, so check the requirements for your country. Within the EU, fibre labelling rules apply; in the US, fibre content, country of origin and care labelling are required. Dyes and finishes can be restricted: REACH covers certain chemicals in the EU. Ask for test reports where a style uses coatings, prints or leather-look trims.
Women's fashion works in seasons, and wholesale ordering is usually done well ahead of the selling window. Ask about cut-off dates, production lead times and whether the supplier restocks best sellers or only sells fixed collections. Many suppliers sell in packs by size run, for example a set ratio of S, M, L and XL per style, while others allow broken sizes at a higher unit price. Know which you are getting, because an uneven size curve leaves you with stock nobody can wear.
Margins on fashion are healthy when you sell at full price and fall quickly once you discount unsold stock. Staples such as basic knitwear and leggings hold margin longer than trend pieces. Counterfeit branded goods and unauthorised overruns do circulate, so if a supplier offers branded women's wear, ask for proof of authorisation or invoices from the brand's own distribution chain.
Questions to ask a supplier
Order the smallest size run the supplier allows, ideally a single pack per style, and track which styles sell through before reordering. Trend pieces carry more risk than basics, so keep depth low on them.
A fixed ratio mirrors the way sizes sell on average and lets the supplier cut and pack efficiently. If your customers skew to larger or smaller sizes, ask whether the ratio can be changed.
Basic garments usually need correct fibre and care labelling rather than lab tests. Request chemical or safety test reports for coated, printed, leather-look or embellished items, and check what your market requires.
Ask for proof of authorised distribution and match labels, packaging and tags against the brand's genuine items. Be cautious of prices far below what authorised channels charge.
