Tennis Dress Manufacturing Guide

Silhouette, built-in short, pocket placement and wash behaviour — the decisions that make tennis dresses production-ready.

Silhouette, built-in short, pocket placement and wash behaviour — the decisions that make tennis dresses production-ready.

Brief blocks

  • Silhouette (A-line, sheath, skater)
  • Built-in short length and rise
  • Ball pocket placement and depth
  • Pleat vs solid skirt

Production risks

Pleat memory after wash, pocket stress, and colour matching between dress body and short liner are the usual PPS failures.

Start from library

Pull a library tennis dress, lock colour and pocket spec, then escalate to exclusive trim or print only if needed.
