18GG Pure Silk Maxi Dress OEM | Luxury Knitwear Factory
Product Description
Product Overview
A pure silk knitted maxi dress represents the pinnacle of sophisticated warm-weather styling. It bridges the gap between effortless daytime comfort and elevated evening glamour. However, executing a full-length dress in an ultra-fine knit requires masterful tension control to prevent the delicate silk from sagging or stretching unevenly. WFS Cashmere delivers a flawlessly engineered silhouette that commands a premium retail position.

Manufacturing Excellence: Mastering the 18-Gauge Silk Dress
Tension & Drape Engineering: Knitting a full-length dress with slippery silk yarn on an 18GG machine is notoriously difficult. Our advanced Japanese Shima Seiki machines and 20-year experienced technicians strictly calibrate the yarn tension, ensuring the dress maintains its structural integrity and perfectly even hemline, regardless of the garment's weight .
Seamless Linking Finish: To preserve the dress's sleek profile, all seams (neckline, armholes, and side seams) are meticulously linked by hand. This ensures the edges lay completely flat and remain virtually undetectable.
Ethical & Traceable: True luxury demands responsibility. Our factory is fully audited by BSCI and WRAP, ensuring ethical labor practices. All our silk yarns are OEKO-TEX 100 certified, guaranteeing they are entirely free from harmful chemicals .

B2B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Since this is an 18GG silk dress, is the fabric too sheer?
A: While 18GG knitwear is exceptionally fine, the dense interlocking stitch structure provides beautiful opacity for standard and darker colors. For very light colors (like optic white or pastel yellow), a nude undergarment or a knitted slip is recommended for a sophisticated look.
Q2: Will the dress stretch and become longer over time?
A: No. We utilize high-twist silk yarns and engineer a specific knitting tension matrix across the bodice and skirt. This counteracts the natural weight of the silk, ensuring the dress retains its original length and architectural drape.
Q3: Can we order this dress in a Silk/Cotton or Silk/Cashmere blend to adjust the price point?
A: Yes. We offer extensive stock yarn options. Blending silk with premium cotton (for crispness) or cashmere (for added softness) are excellent ways to create a luxurious product at a more accessible wholesale cost .
Q4: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: We support brand growth with a highly flexible MOQ of just 100 pieces per style/colorway
