The first question factories will ask is, what would you like to produce. The second question will be, how many would you like to produce? They want to know how many per style, per fabric, per color and per embellishment. All of this information is used by them to decide if they will accept your order. A quantity breakdown list provides all this information. Funny thing is, 99% of clients refuse to fill it in and their reason is that they need to know the price first.
