Low MOQ loungewear, sleepwear and underwear manufacturer: 100 pieces per style
Lounge and sleep sets, briefs, boxers and bralettes are garments worn against the skin for hours, so fabric softness, elastic quality and label placement matter more than in any other category, and they are exactly what a blank-based brand cannot control. From 100 pieces per style and colour, our named partner, Collective Studio Ltd. in Narayanganj, makes them from your pattern.

Made by our partner
Collective Studio Ltd.
Small runs on this page are cut and sewn by Collective Studio Ltd., a Narayanganj factory making small quantities since 2019, to support new businesses and creators. We manage your tech pack, sampling, quality checks and DDP delivery exactly as on our own orders, and we name the factory in writing before production. Both our founders work with Collective Studio Ltd.: Homaira Jashim is a co-founder and AB is Head of Growth; see our founders. The partner prices its runs separately.
Fabrics chosen for skin
The fabrics that suit this category are soft, breathable and stable in the wash: combed cotton single jersey, cotton-modal for drape and a cool touch, cotton-elastane for recovery in underwear, rib knits for fitted lounge pieces and waffle knits for sleepwear with texture. Weight runs lighter than outerwear, and the finish matters: a bio-washed or silicone-finished jersey feels soft from the first wear. On a 100-piece run the fabric comes from the partner’s stock in these families, in the neutral and muted shades the category sells in.
Elastics, trims and the seams next to skin
Underwear is built around its elastic: a plush-back waistband elastic that sits soft against the skin, leg elastics that hold without marking, and binding at edges. Loungewear uses flat drawcords and soft ribs. Seams are kept flat and light, and labels are heat-transferred or placed where they cannot rub. Trims have their own minimums, so a first run uses the partner’s stock elastics and bindings; a branded jacquard waistband comes when a style justifies its minimum.
- Waistband elastic: plush-back, width and whether exposed or covered
- Leg and edge finishes: bound, elastic or clean-cut
- Gussets in briefs and boxer briefs
- Labels: heat-transfer at the back neck or waistband, not a sewn tag
- Sleepwear: flat drawcords, soft ribs, no hard trims
Sets that match
A lounge set or a sleep set is two styles cut from the same stock fabric and shade, sampled together so the shades match, with a minimum of 100 pieces per colour for each. Underwear is often sold in packs of a single style in several colours; each colour is its own 100 pieces, so a first pack is planned around the stock shades the partner holds.
Labelling and claims for skin-contact garments
Skin-contact garments carry the fibre content, care and origin required in your market, and several markets test them for restricted substances at stricter limits than outerwear. A fibre claim such as organic cotton needs a transaction certificate for the fabric in the order; the partner holds GOTS certification for organic options, and we ask for the certificate before the label is printed.
Samples, approval and delivery
A fit sample, worn, then a pre-production sample in the bulk fabric with the elastics, trims and labels in place, approved and sealed. Production with inline checks and a final inspection follows, and the goods ship DDP to your door in about 40–50 days door to door as one landed cost.

Questions about small-run loungewear, sleepwear and underwear.
Can I make underwear at 100 pieces per style?
Yes, from the partner’s stock fabrics, elastics and bindings. A brief, boxer brief or bralette at 100 pieces per style and colour is cut and sewn from your pattern in a combed cotton or cotton-elastane jersey, with a plush-back waistband elastic, leg elastics or bindings, a gusset where the style needs one, and heat-transfer labels so nothing rubs. The two things a first run does not cover are a custom-dyed shade and a branded jacquard waistband, because both are made in minimums far larger than 100 garments; a first run uses the partner’s stock elastics and the stock shades, and the branded waistband comes when a style justifies its minimum. Underwear sold in multi-packs is planned colour by colour, since each colour is its own 100 pieces. Send a garment whose fit you like and we build the pattern from it, and the fit sample is worn before anything is cut.
Which fabric is best for loungewear and sleepwear?
Softness first, then how it washes. Combed cotton single jersey is the safe base for lounge tops and bottoms; cotton-modal adds drape and a cool touch that suits sleepwear; cotton-elastane gives recovery for fitted pieces; rib knits suit tanks and fitted lounge sets; waffle knits give sleepwear texture and warmth without weight. Finishes matter in this category more than most, because the garment is judged by the skin: a bio-washed or silicone-finished jersey feels soft from the first wear rather than after the fifth wash. Weight runs lighter than outerwear, and colours run to neutrals and muted shades, which is what the partner’s stock in these fabrics covers. Cotton-rich knits shrink, so the fabric is wash-tested and the pattern compensated before cutting. Send us a piece you like and we match it with swatches; the fit sample is worn, not only measured.
Do skin-contact garments need special testing or labels?
They carry the same fibre content, care and origin information as any garment in your market, and in several markets they are tested for restricted substances at stricter limits than outerwear because they sit against the skin for hours: the EU and UK apply their chemical restrictions to all textiles, the EU’s general product safety rules apply, and some retailers set their own tighter limits for underwear and sleepwear. Children’s sleepwear has flammability rules in several markets and is a different programme. A fibre claim such as organic cotton needs a transaction certificate covering the fabric in your order, not a certificate for the mill in general; the partner holds GOTS certification for organic options, and we ask for the certificate before the label is printed. Labels themselves are heat-transferred rather than sewn so no tag edge rubs. Tell us the market at the enquiry stage and we specify the tests and the label content with the sample.
