Polka-Dot Set RFQs: Specify Motif Size and Spacing
For a Polka-Dot Zip-Up Set order, ask the supplier to define the motif dimensions, spacing and transition area on an identified garment size. Request the applicable artwork and missing coverage views. Keep motif scale, placement and size-grading decisions explicit before approving the sample and final quotation.

Define the visible motif before approving the set
Xuanao lists a Polka-Dot Zip-Up Set and describes a distinctive polka-dot design. The supplier’s material field states polyester. Its catalogue images show a concentrated motif around the upper chest and shoulder area, with the visible pattern becoming less prominent farther down the front.
For wholesale polka-dot zip-up sets, a purchasing decision needs a defined motif scale and spacing, not just a selected colour photograph. Ask the supplier to describe the intended motif dimensions, arrangement and transition area on the offered garment. The reviewed page gives no numeric motif specification or complete artwork reference.
Separate motif size, spacing and transition
Ask the supplier to identify the repeated motif and the dimensions used to define it. If it is described as a round dot, request the relevant diameter or other controlling measure. Keep that definition tied to an artwork or sample reference rather than estimating a number from pixels in the catalogue image.
Spacing needs its own description. Ask how adjacent motifs are arranged and where that arrangement changes across the garment. The visible transition can be discussed as an appearance requirement without assuming a particular printing, knitting or other manufacturing process. Request the supplier’s actual proposed method separately if it affects the offer.

Describe spacing and arrangement in each relevant area.
Mark where the visible transition begins and ends.

Use a motif-specific approval table
Send a short table with the chosen product link and image reference. The supplier can respond with its proposed artwork, an identified sample or a specification explaining what will be supplied. Keep unanswered fields visible until the buyer has enough information to approve the actual appearance.
Motif field
Supplier response requested
Motif dimensions
Shape, controlling measure and agreed artwork reference
Spacing
Arrangement and distance definition in relevant areas
Transition
Where the motif’s density or prominence changes
Coverage
Which garment areas carry the selected motif
Size grading
What remains fixed and what changes across ordered sizes
Distinguish the motif dimensions from the overall decorated area. A supplier may keep the repeated feature unchanged while adjusting the area it occupies, or may propose another approach. Ask for that decision explicitly so the buyer’s approval does not depend on an assumed scaling rule.
Connect the pattern to garment reference points
Ask the supplier to show the relevant decorated area on a flat garment view or a marked drawing. Use named references such as the shoulder, front opening or chest area to locate the transition. Request measurements or another agreed definition where placement matters, with the garment size and measurement state identified.
The front opening creates an additional appearance question: how should the selected motif relate across the two sides when the zip is closed? Ask the supplier to show its proposal rather than assuming that every repeated feature will align. Keep any requested alignment separate from the motif’s own size and spacing.
Also request the areas that the catalogue does not show clearly. Similar front colourway compositions do not establish the back or side coverage. Ask which parts of the top, trousers or other offered components carry the motif, then record the response without treating staged footwear as part of the clothing order.

Review the selected colour and size combination
Ask for a sample or identified sample evidence in the actual proposed colour and size. Review the motif definition, transition and placement together. If the buyer accepts the appearance for that sample, record what the decision covers and which additional sizes or colour options still require clarification.
For another size, ask whether motif scale, spacing or coverage changes. For another colour, request confirmation of the proposed motif and background relationship rather than treating a catalogue recolour as a tested sample. Keep the accepted artwork and sample identifiers together so later comments refer to the same version.
This appearance review establishes no independently verified fibre composition, production process, colourfastness, stretch or washing result. If such requirements matter to the purchase, obtain their own supplier response. The purpose here is a usable motif specification that purchasing and the supplier can both recognise.
Keep the approved motif on the final offer
Attach the agreed motif reference and applicable size information to the quotation. Ask the supplier to identify any proposed change to the artwork or decorated area before applying a previous approval to a repeat order. A new colour option should retain its own clear reference where its appearance differs.
The resulting record should answer practical questions: how large the repeated motif is, how it is arranged, where it changes and which offered garment version the buyer accepted. It should not claim that a catalogue view supplies dimensions or technical results that were never provided.
Frequently asked questions
Can dot size be measured from the photograph?
Request the supplier’s controlling dimension and reference. The catalogue image provides no confirmed measurement scale.
Do three front colourways establish back coverage?
They do not supply the missing view. Ask for the actual proposed back or side appearance.
