Prom Dresses | New Prom Gown : 50% off - Use Code PROM

Prom season is always a stressful time for parents and young women preparing for one of the most special occasions in the life of the young woman. The memories of the prom are often carried a lifetime, and having a special, unique dress for this special occasion is a necessity. Usually, prom gowns hold a special place of honor as a keepsake along side a wedding dress.

Choosing wholesale prom dresses is not always easy for a retailer – there are so many sizes, shapes, colors, and price tags to choose from. How does the retailer know which prom gowns will be profitable next year? Will the customer want cheap prom dresses, designer prom dresses, plus size prom dresses, or unique prom dresses?

Offering a variety of colors, sizes, and designers will provide a wide selection of formal gowns perfect for your customer base, but having a variety of styles holds even more importance. The different styles of formal gowns or prom dresses emphasize specific features while taking attention away from less desirable features.

Style is everything, and this never holds more truth than when considering what styles of wholesale prom dresses to purchase for your storefront. Once a few styles have been defined, the retailer can purchase various styles with appropriate colors and size to match target consumers.

Purchasing wholesale prom dresses does not mean you have to purchase cheap prom dresses. In fact, many designer prom dresses can be purchased wholesale.

When to buy, and for what? Too many questions!

A problem that faces many retail sellers who are either just starting out, or who have been in business for years selling women’s wholesale clothing, only to face a changing market is this : What season should I be buying for?

After all, it’s hard to tell. New York’s Fashion week just showcased their collection of trendy spring clothing. Spring! And it’s not even October yet. So how do you buy for the future, and what do you keep on the shelves now? “Well, it’s a good idea to always have something at the front of the store that matches the weather of the day. Sometimes that means rotating your T racks every day, but in the end, it’s worth it.” Says our in house merchandising specialist.

Another good rule of thumb is to buy for two seasons at once. For instance, now, in October, you should be buying Winter and Spring wholesale clothing. “What about Fall?”, you ask. Well, that’s what should be on your shelves right now! If you’re still struggling under old, unsold summer goods, it’s time to pack them up, or move them out. Going too low on them will be a money drain, when the same goods will sell well next summer with proper storage attention.

If you buy both winter and spring, then your fall wholesale clothing can move to the sales racks when bitter cold hits, and they’ll still sell well enough, as they can be used for under or over layering for winter goods. When spring comes, Fall needs to be totally gone, and the winter goods can go on sale. Even as late as March or April, someone will make an impulse buy of a coat on a blistery day.

Understanding Sweaters - Different Styles, Types and Prices!

Understanding the Versatility of Sweaters

Historically, sweaters have been popular throughout many fads and fashions withstanding the test of time. Sweaters are one of the most versatile of fashionable apparel, and sweaters come in a copious number of styles, designs, and price tags. Yes, sweaters can keep you warm, but a sweater can also keep you stylish and cool even on the hottest of days.

Just a few types of sweaters include cardigan sweaters, wool sweaters, argyle sweaters, sweatshirts, cashmere sweaters, and even dog sweaters! In times past, sweaters were hand knitted from wool, but even within the wool category, there are different types of popular wool material used to make wearable sweaters.

Exploring the Undershirt

Commonly, sweaters of all types are worn over an undershirt. Women’s shirts, normal t-shirts, custom t-shirts, polo shirts, and dress shirts are all popular types of shirts to use as an undergarment with a sweater. The type of undershirt worn will be partially dictated by the type of sweater worn for the day.

Normal t-shirts, custom t-shirts, some pop shirts, and some women’s shirts are useful because there is no collar. When worn under a women’s sweater, only the sweater is left showing. However, sometimes, a collar such as those seen with many dress shirts, polo shirts, and women’s shirts, can be a stylish way to accessorize the sweater while adding a bit of additional insulation on those cool days or nights.

Types of Popular Sweaters

There are a few popular categories most sweaters fall into today: cardigan sweaters, crewneck sweaters, Vee neck sweaters or V-neck sweaters, and turtleneck sweaters. Each of these popular categories offer something special to the consumer.

Cardigan Sweater

Cardigan sweaters can be short sleeved, long sleeved, or somewhere in between. What makes a cardigan sweater a cardigan sweater is the front-style closure. Usually, the closure will be either buttons or zippers, but sometimes other types of closures will be utilized. The cardigan sweater will be similar to a knitted jacket.

Cardigan sweaters are useful for any temperatures, occasions, and body sizes. Plus size sweaters will often have numerous cardigan sweaters to accent the natural beauty of the plus size woman.

Crewneck Sweaters

Crewneck sweaters are an extremely popular and versatile type of sweater. Most commonly, the crewneck sweater refers to a sweater an individual would pull over the head, and where the neckline of the sweater is close to the neck. Rounded crewneck sweaters and boat neck crewneck sweaters are two of the most popular of crewneck sweaters on the market today.

With a crewneck sweater, the sweater is a solid piece with no closures. These look great with an undershirt containing a collar or a simple t-shirt to protect from skin irritation often accompanying a sweater.

Vee Neck Sweaters or V-Neck Sweater - Click here to View

Vee neck sweaters, or v-neck sweaters, are extremely popular in today’s busy and stylish women’s apparel. This type of sweater is similar to the crewneck sweater except the neckline makes a “V”. In addition, the vee neck sweater is also found commonly with closures.

The v-neck sweater is a popular sweater with or without the addition of an undershirt. Additionally, plus size sweaters will often be a vee neck sweater to show-off a bit of cleavage. Many plus size sweaters are a v-neck sweater because many larger women do not appreciate the snugness of the crewneck sweater.

Turtleneck Sweaters

Turtleneck sweaters have been popular for as long as sweaters have been around. These beautiful sweaters have an unusual neckline – the neckline of turtleneck sweaters has extra material so that the sweater bunches around and covers the neck. This is great for the woman wanting to add a bit of warmth with high style.

Plus size sweaters may come in a turtleneck styles, but usually the more extended the size, the less likelihood the sweater will have be a turtleneck sweater. Plus size women do not usually appreciate the constriction offered by the turtleneck style. Instead, a vee neck or even a crewneck is preferred in plus size sweaters.

Designs and Materials

The designs and materials used in sweaters is evolving over time, but sometimes, the designs and materials will never go out of style. These designs and materials have withstood the test of time and will be with us for centuries to come. Most commonly the materials used in developing the sweater will change according to new technologies utilized in the development of the material.

Cashmere Sweaters

Cashmere sweaters are one of the softest, most luxurious sweaters on the market today, and the cashmere sweater is a good example of a fashionable, evolving material. Cashmere wool is obtained from a Cashmere goat. A common misconception today is that any “soft” fiber used is considered cashmere, but this is far from the truth. Cashmere wool, in fact, has extremely strict standards to fall within the cashmere category.

Cashmere sweaters are stunningly gorgeous and ultra soft. In addition, cashmere sweaters are great for making plus size sweaters because they act as comfort apparel and, of course, the softness is second to none.

Argyle Sweaters

Argyle sweaters have been popular since the 50s, and are a good example of a fashionable, evolving pattern. These versatile sweaters are not made of a particular material, but argyle is a pattern used on the sweater. At one time, argyle sweaters signified an upper class, but today, anyone who wants to look fashionable will find the argyle pattern beneficial to an entire apparel ensemble.

The argyle pattern consists of diamonds within a diagonal checkerboard pattern. The diamonds can be of any color, and often, the argyle sweater will have popular colors in today’s fashionable color schemes.

Today’s fashionable society understands the importance of sweaters as much as Julie Ann does. Sweaters come in all shapes, sizes, and fashions designed and developed with today’s busy woman in mind. Regardless of the apparel scheme for the day, there is a sweater to highlight the natural beauty of the woman in question.

When you expect the best quality, the best design, and the best price for your sweaters, Julie Ann exceeds all expectations. By offering a large quantity of designs by various designers, Julie Ann caters to your changing needs. After all, when you expect the best, Julie Ann listens and complies to you and your consumers desires.

Energy and Water Conservation Tips for Businesses

Conservation MartAll businesses, whether they are small, medium or large multi-national corporations use lighting, heating and air conditioning, power for computing /equipment and water. By taking the following steps at their facilities, businesses can significantly reduce their electricity, gas and water bills and protect the environment at the same time.

Install Efficient Light Bulbs

According to Energy Star, Energy Star qualified CFL bulbs consume about 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer, resulting in about $30 or more in energy savings over each bulb’s lifetime. Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs have come a long way in the last few years: their costs have dropped and there is a bulb for just about any application. Switching to CFLs is easy to implement and can yield a quick payback in savings.

Install Motion Sensors

Also known as Occupancy Sensors, they detect activity in areas where they are installed. They can automatically turn lights on and off by sensing motion. Motion sensors, can save on lighting costs. This is especially important for facilities with areas that are infrequently used such as warehouses.

Use Smart Power Strips

Smart Power Strips all you to monitor and manage computer and accessories power usage. Computers and peripherals such as printers, fax machines, monitors, copiers and hard drives suck up power even when they are not in use. Smart power strips can detect when these devices are in use or idle and can turn them off automatically. Smart power strips can save up to 72% of the power your systems use, and additionally provide surge protection.

Install Programmable Thermostats

Programmable Thermostats give you flexibility to adjust temperatures based on time of the day, seasonal changes and occupancy. For instance, in the winter time you can program the temperature to the lowest level that is comfortable for tenants, and in the summer time to the highest level that is tolerable. You can adjust the thermostat lower when there are fewer tenants in the building or even turn off the heating / air for a predetermined interval before close of business e.g. 30-60 minutes before close of business.

Install Lighting Timer Controls

Lighting Timer Controls are available for indoor and outdoor lighting. They can be programmed to automatically turn lights on and off based on a schedule. Solar Timer Controls can control outdoor lighting based on the time of sunrise and sunset for your location.

Water Efficiency

If your facility has showers, consider replacing the standard showerheads with water saving showerheads such as water efficient a 1.5 gallon per minute showerhead.

Back to School Savvy. How to plan for one of the busiest shopping seasons of the year.

So it’s that time again. August. And it’s still sweltering, but you’re fully stocked for Fall anyway, and people are pouring in with hopes of reinventing themselves or their children this school semester. So how do you get ready for this event? We’ve put down some of our best strategies for you.

Now is the time to stock up – All the distributors have their summer goods at low markdowns because now is the time when people look for fall items. It’s so easy to find clothing sales and clothing bargains this season. Stock up on things that you know will sell if you hold onto them for a season. Or buy them cheap, and put them out already on sale. It’s still plenty hot, and customers will want to snag deals along with their more expensive items. It’s an excellent lure.

Don’t assume that school means kids – So many shoppers during this time are college students, or even recent graduates who need to start a whole new business wardrobe. Don’t leave them out. Stocking young, fresh professional work attire will bring in those looking to make themselves snappy for the first day of their graduate classes, or for a promising interview.


Buy in bulk
– make sure you carry complete size runs of your products. If you only have size sixteen, but you’re missing out on all the fourteens and eighteens, you’re alienating half your clientèle. Most pre-packed wholesale goods are packed along the ratio that customers actually buy.

Don’t let your customers do all the bargain hunting – the best way to ensure that you’re offering competitive prices is to ensure that you’re buying competitively. Check and see what promotions your favorite distributor is offering.
