Rompers!

The season seems to be riddled with rompers!
In both women's and kids lines I have found an abundance.
Here is of my favorites! And it fits into my themes for the season.

Vintage Romper-needs some serious redesign on the
body but the details are great!
Today I am mapping out how many styles I need,
this will help me to plan out how big the line will be based on
last season sales, and how I want to grow the sales for next Spring.
This is then balanced by how much I will need to invest in having them made up into sales man samples. SMS are the samples I take to market to sell to the stores. They represent what I will ship to them later that season if they place the order.

My line usually starts with 40 styles-20 boys/20 girls
Each sample is then costed out by the factory.
My average cost is around $10-$15 depending on the style
and fabric. My SMS cost is double this number.

So, to make my line in order to take to the trade shows, I need around $800-$1200.
I have to make 4 sales man sample lines so that each of my 4 showrooms has a line to
use during the season. 1200 x 4=$4800.00. And I have not even showed anyone the line yet!!
