If you have browsed a Turkish modest fashion wholesaler, you have probably seen prices listed as a per-piece figure alongside a "full series" total — and wondered exactly how it works. This guide explains the wholesale size series model: what it is, why suppliers use it, and how it benefits your boutique.
What is a size series?
A size series (also called a size run or size set) is a bundle containing one garment in each size of a style's size range. For example, a dress offered in sizes 38, 40, 42 and 44 has a four-piece series — one of each size. When you buy the series, you receive the complete size range of that style in one purchase.
The per-piece price is the reference cost of a single garment; the full-series price is simply the per-piece price multiplied by the number of sizes in the run. A dress at $30 per piece in a four-size series is $120 for the full series.
Why do wholesalers sell by the series?
- Balanced stock: production and inventory stay even across sizes, rather than piling up in the middle sizes.
- Fair size distribution: every size gets made and sold, so hard-to-move sizes aren't left behind.
- Simple, transparent pricing: one clear per-piece rate, no complex tiered quantities.
- Low entry point: the practical minimum is often just one series per style, which suits new boutiques.
How the size series benefits your boutique
- Every size, from day one: your rail is stocked across the full size range immediately — no guessing which single sizes to order.
- Fewer lost sales: a customer who finds her size buys; the size series means you rarely have to say "sorry, not in your size."
- Easy reordering: when a style sells, you simply reorder the series to restock every size at once.
- Cleaner buying decisions: you choose styles and colours, not a complicated size-by-size quantity grid.
A worked example
Say a modest evening dress is offered at $28 per piece in a size series of 36, 38, 40, 42 (four pieces). The full series costs $112. You receive one dress in each of those four sizes. If you retail each at, say, 2.5x cost, your rail is stocked in every size and priced for a healthy margin — all from a single, simple order.
Series sizes vary by style
Different styles have different runs — a compact 3-piece series (38–42), a standard 4- or 5-piece series (36–44 or 38–46), or an extended run into larger sizes (42–50). Always check the series size and the exact sizes included before ordering, so you know precisely what you will receive.
Frequently asked questions
What is a size series in wholesale clothing?
A bundle containing one garment in each size of a style's run — buying the series gives you the complete size range of that style in one purchase.
How is the series price calculated?
The full-series price is the per-piece price multiplied by the number of sizes in the run. For example, $30 per piece across five sizes is $150 for the series.
Can I buy a single size instead of the whole series?
The size-series model is designed to be sold as a complete run so stock stays balanced across sizes; the practical minimum is usually one full series per style and colour.
Why do Turkish wholesalers use the size series model?
It keeps production and inventory balanced across sizes, offers transparent per-piece pricing, and gives boutiques a low entry point with full size coverage from the first order.
What sizes are in a series?
It depends on the style — common runs are 38–42, 36–44, 38–46 or 42–50. Always check the listed sizes before ordering.
