What Affects the Cost of This Linen Top
A front photo tells us the look you want, but pricing the top takes more than that. The back zipper is visible here — the lining, cup support and inside seam finish are still open questions, and each one shifts the material or sewing cost.

Choosing Linen for This Shape
For a gathered cup crop top, choosing linen only by colour can lead to a different result from the reference. The cup fabric needs to gather along the lower edge, while the bodice panels need enough body to hold the agreed shape.
Our sourcing team can look for linen close to your swatch, or use material from your nominated supplier. You can compare the proposed linen fabrics during sample development rather than commit to one from photographs alone.
Ivory raises another question: coverage. For a 100% linen crop top, we can discuss lining the full bodice or adding support only where needed — the choice comes down to your fabric and the finish you want inside.
A softer fabric may sit differently at the neckline and hem. If the material changes after the first sample, we'll go back over the pattern together before confirming the original construction can stay.
Customize This Linen Top
Colour and weight: Keep the reference shade or choose from our available linen swatches. Special sourcing depends on supplier minimums, which we can confirm for you.
Inside finish: Tell us your lining preference, and whether you need cup support or special seam finishing.
Back zipper: Pick the type, colour and puller, or supply your nominated trim.
Branding: Main labels, care labels, hangtags and packing can all follow your artwork and specifications.
Developing Your Brand’s Version
MRL Apparel has its own design and sample rooms side by side, so pattern work and sewing get reviewed together as things move along. For private label crop top production, we lock in the bust, underbust and waist measurements on the sample before grading — tie length and zipper position get settled at the same stage.
To finish the quotation we need the full quantity breakdown: colours, sizes and units for each. And if this top is part of a matching linen collection, send over the other designs too — that way we can sort out fabric sourcing for the whole group while quoting each style on its own.
Yes. We can compare available lining materials and the cost of the proposed construction. The sample then lets you assess the coverage, feel and inside finish before approving the option.
These have not been confirmed for MRL-1367. If your design requires either, tell us before sampling so we can review the construction and include it in the quotation.
We can review it, but the cup gathers and narrow ties may need a different sewing approach. A fabric swatch helps us assess the change before making the sample.
