OEM Formal Dress Tech Pack Checklist: What Boutiques and Importers Should Send Before Sampling Direct answer Before asking a factory to make an OEM formal dress sample, a boutique or importer should send a complete brief that covers silhouette references, target measurements, fabric direction, embellishment details, color notes, label and packaging requirements, quantity expectations, and delivery timing.
