Lingerie & Underwear Manufacturer
Fabrickly produces lingerie, underwear and loungewear for growing brands through a specialist intimates factory — from 50 pieces per style, with fit-focused sampling, quality control and DDP delivery.
Lingerie & underwear we manufacture
Bralettes & soft bras
Unwired and lightly lined bralettes, triangle and longline styles, with adjustable straps and comfortable underbands.
Briefs & knickers
High-rise, bikini, thong and full-brief cuts with soft, no-dig elastics and breathable gussets.
Boxers & trunks
Men’s boxer briefs and trunks with contoured pouches, flat seams and branded waistbands.
Bodysuits & shapewear
Smoothing bodysuits and light-control pieces engineered for comfort as well as shape.
Loungewear & sleep sets
Soft co-ords, slips and pyjama sets that sit naturally alongside an intimates range.
Organic & modal basics
Everyday essentials in organic cotton, modal and micromodal for a softer, more sustainable line.
Fabrics we work with
Modal & micromodal
Silky, breathable and very soft — the go-to for premium everyday underwear.
Organic cotton jersey
Breathable, skin-friendly basics, available GOTS-certified.
Lace & mesh
Stretch laces and fine meshes for trims, panels and statement pieces.
Recycled nylon-elastane
Smooth, supportive stretch for bralettes, bodysuits and shapewear.
Fit and comfort, engineered
Intimates live or die on the details: soft, plush-back elastics that don’t dig, flat or bonded seams, breathable cotton gussets, smooth linings and accurate grading across sizes. Every style goes through dedicated fit rounds, and finished garments are checked for stretch recovery and consistent sizing before they ship.
From tech pack to your door
Share your tech pack
Send your tech pack and target quantities — or we’ll help you build one, with the fit details intimates need.
Fit sampling
A specialist intimates factory samples each style; we refine fit, elastics and sizing with you until it’s right.
Bulk, QC & DDP ship
Production runs under quality control, then we handle freight, duties and DDP delivery to your door.
Trims and components for intimates
Lingerie lives or dies on its trims. List every component in your tech pack so the factory can source it before sampling starts.
Elastics
Picot and plush-back elastics for edges and underbands, fold-over elastic for bindings, and branded jacquard waistbands for boxers and briefs.
Closures and hardware
Hook-and-eye tapes, strap adjusters, rings and sliders, in metal or nylon-coated finishes to match your colourways.
Cups and support
Removable pads, moulded cups and underwire channelling for styles that need more support. Soft styles skip these and are faster to develop.
Labels and packaging
Printed heat-transfer labels to avoid itchy tags, woven brand labels, hygiene liners for briefs, and branded polybags or boxes.
What drives the cost of custom lingerie
Every quote is itemised, so you can see which choices move the price. These are the factors that matter most for intimates.
| Factor | Why it matters | How to keep it down |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Lace, silk and recycled nylon cost more than cotton jersey or modal, and some have higher minimums at the mill. | Use one main fabric across the capsule and save premium fabrics for hero styles. |
| Construction | More panels, moulded cups and underwires mean more sewing time and more fit rounds. | Launch with bralettes, briefs and boxers, then add structured bras. |
| Trims | Each elastic, hook, adjuster and label is a separate part to source and attach. | Reuse the same elastics and hardware across styles. |
| Size range | Every extra size needs grading and checking, and cup sizing multiplies the size count. | Start with a core run (XS to XL) and extend once you know what sells. |
| Quantity per style | Set-up costs are shared over fewer pieces on small runs. | Fewer styles in more units usually beats many styles in tiny runs. |
| Packaging | Custom boxes, tissue and hygiene stickers add per-unit cost. | Start with branded polybags and add boxes for gift sets. |

How we check fit and quality on intimates
Intimates sit against the skin, so small faults show up fast. These checks run on every lingerie order.
- Fit sample reviewed in your base size, with comments and photos shared with you before any grading.
- Stretch and recovery checks on elastics and fabrics so waistbands and underbands don’t bag out.
- Measurement checks against your size spec in every size, not just the sample size.
- Seam, gusset and label checks for comfort and skin contact.
- Final inspection before shipping, with the report shared on your order.
Lingerie manufacturing FAQs
What is the minimum order for custom lingerie and underwear?
From 50 pieces per style. That lets you launch a capsule of bralettes, briefs or boxers in a few colourways without huge upfront stock.
Do you use a specialist lingerie factory?
Yes. Intimates need different machinery, elastics and fit expertise from general apparel, so your order goes to a specialist intimates factory.
What fabrics can you work with?
Modal and micromodal, organic cotton jersey, stretch laces and meshes, and recycled nylon-elastane — matched to the comfort and support each style needs.
Can you help with sizing and grading?
Yes. We grade your styles across your size range and refine fit during sampling so the whole range wears consistently.
How long does production take?
Sampling usually takes 2–4 weeks because fit takes extra rounds, and bulk production around 4–7 weeks depending on style and quantity, plus shipping.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — we deliver DDP to the UK, US and EU, so freight, customs and duties are handled and your delivered price is clear up front.
Can you make wired bras and moulded cups?
We can quote wired and moulded styles through our specialist intimates factory. They need more fit rounds than bralettes, so many brands launch with soft styles first and add structured bras in a second drop.
Can I use my own labels and packaging?
Yes. Add printed heat-transfer labels, woven brand labels, hang tags, hygiene liners and branded packaging to your tech pack and they are sourced alongside your order.
Do I need a tech pack for lingerie?
It saves time and mistakes, because intimates have many small trims and tight tolerances. If you only have a sketch, our team builds a factory-ready tech pack in 7 days.
How many fit samples will I need?
Soft styles such as bralettes, briefs and boxers are often approved after one or two fit rounds. Wired bras and shapewear usually need more, so plan extra time for those.
What should a lingerie tech pack include?
Flat sketches, a size spec with grading, fabric composition and weight, every elastic and trim with width and colour, stitch types, label placement and care instructions.
