How to Plan a 100-Piece Apparel MOQ

Woven cotton maxi dress from DONGFAN's official womenswear collection

MOQ is not only a purchasing number. It is the starting point for fabric planning, colour decisions, size allocation and production scheduling. At DONGFAN, the standard minimum order is 100 pieces per style.

Start with one clear style

A style is one defined garment design with its own construction, pattern, fabric direction and specification. Before asking for a quote, identify the silhouette, category, target quantity and intended delivery window.

If you are still testing an idea, begin with the style that best represents your collection rather than splitting a small budget across too many unrelated designs.

  • Garment category and reference image or tech pack
  • Target fabric or performance requirement
  • Target market and expected delivery date

Build the size allocation before production

A total quantity is more actionable when it is assigned across the sizes you intend to sell. The product detail page lets you apply a simple size ratio and then refine the quantity for each colour and size combination.

Use your historic sales data when available. For a new collection, treat a default ratio as a starting point and review it against your target customer and fit strategy.

  • Confirm the total planned quantity
  • Choose the sizes you will offer
  • Assign quantity to each colour and size combination
  • Make sure the allocation total matches the planned quantity before submitting

Keep colour direction practical

You can request more than one colour direction, but colour selection can affect fabric availability, development work and production planning. Share Pantone references, physical swatches or clear visual references when they matter to your brand.

DONGFAN can review your selected colour directions with the fabric and construction requirements during the quote stage.

  • Core colourways for launch
  • Any Pantone, Hex or swatch reference
  • Whether colour matching is critical or directional
