Planning size ratios and colours for a kurta-set lot
How to split a kurta-set order across sizes and colours, why bundles are tracked by size and colour, and what to check before cutting.
A kurta-set order is really many small orders: every size in every colour. Planning that split well — the size ratio — decides how much stock you sell at full price and how much sits in the shop.
Start from your sales, not from a template
Look at what sold out and what was left over last season, size by size. If medium and large sold out first, give them a bigger share of the next lot. There is no single correct ratio; it depends on your customers and region.
Split by colour carefully
Popular colours should carry the full size range. Test colours can run in fewer sizes until you see demand. Write the quantity for each colour and size in a simple grid on the order sheet.
Why we bundle by size and colour
After cutting, pieces of each size and colour are tied into bundles with a ticket. This keeps the kurta and bottom of a set matched in shade, stops sizes being mixed, and lets us report exactly how many pieces of each size are cut, stitched and packed. It is also how we track your lot from fabric in to goods out.
Check before cutting
- Is there enough fabric for the planned quantity in each colour? We confirm this from the pattern before cutting.
- Are the top and bottom fabrics from the same dye lot? Mixed lots can show shade differences.
- Is the size chart final? Changes after cutting are costly.
