Women's workwear and uniforms

A good women's uniform is cut for women, not shrunk from a men's pattern. It has to fit a whole team, survive daily wear, and look the same on the next order.

What we make

Women’s workwear is made from the same categories as the rest of our range: blouses and shirts, blazers, skirts, trousers, dresses and knitwear. A uniform is usually a set of these, made to work together.

What matters for workwear

  • Fit across a team. Uniforms are worn by many body shapes. The size range and the measurement chart matter more than for fashion pieces.
  • Fabric that lasts. Daily wear and frequent washing call for fabrics that keep their colour and shape. We help you choose — see Choosing fabric for your order.
  • Comfort for the job. Movement, pockets, closures and breathability all depend on what the wearer does all day.
  • Consistency. New staff join; old uniforms wear out. The next order has to match the last.

How an order runs

The same six steps as any order: send the style, confirm the measurement chart, sample, approve the pre-production sample, bulk, inspection and shipping. Our minimum is 100 pieces; a sample takes 3–5 days and bulk 20–25 days.

Planning reorders

Keep the approved sample and the size chart, record the fabric, and reorder from them. Details in Reordering with the same quality.

Questions

Can you make uniforms for a whole team in different sizes?

Yes. We grade the pattern across the size range you need and confirm the measurement chart with you before sampling.

Can you add our logo?

Tell us how you want the logo applied and where. We include it in the sample so you see it before bulk.

Can we reorder single sizes later?

Tell us the quantities per size when you reorder. Reorders are made from the pattern and chart on file.
