Which AS Colour dress should you choose?
The range has two dresses, and they are quite different garments, so the choice usually settles once you know who will wear it. Gsm means grams per square metre, so a higher number is a heavier fabric.
| Style | Fabric and cut, from the product page | Sizes | Where it fits |
| AS Colour Saturday Dress | 180 gsm, 100% combed cotton, relaxed fit, scoop neck, curved hem, short length. Black or Grey Marle | XS to XL | Front-of-house, retail and event teams |
| AS Colour Mika Long Sleeve Dress | 150 gsm, listed as 100% organic combed cotton (marles 15% viscose), slim fit, scoop neck, mid-length, long sleeves, self-fabric binding on neck and sleeve hems | XS to XL | Cooler months, a more covered uniform look |
If you have no strong view, we'd start with the Saturday Dress. It's the heavier of the two, and the relaxed cut is easier to fit across a mixed team. The Mika is the one to pick when you want sleeves and length, and the slim fit means you should check sizing on a sample before a big order.
What's the best way to put a logo on a dress?
For a one or two colour logo, we'd screen print it. The ink sits in the cotton, it holds up to regular washing, and a small chest logo is the usual job on a dress. Screen printing needs a setup for each colour, so it is less suited to photos or gradients.
- DTF transfers suit full-colour artwork and smaller runs, though the feel and wash life differ from a screen print.
- Embroidery can work for a small, simple logo, but both dresses are light jersey that can pucker under dense stitching, so the artwork team confirms it before the proof.
- Sublimation needs white or light polyester, so it doesn't apply to these cotton dresses.
Both product pages offer one, two or three decoration positions. Most buyers choose the left or centre chest, and the logo is sized to the space the garment offers, so a compact design sits better near a scoop neckline. Your free proof shows the position, size and method before anything is made.
How does ordering work?
There's no minimum, so a salon can order six dresses and a venue can order sixty. Both styles stop at XL, so check your team's size range first. We send a free digital proof, nothing goes into production until you approve it, and the quote confirms your branded price. Both dresses show quantity pricing on the product page.
Who orders branded dresses?
Hospitality and retail businesses use them as staff wear that looks less like a uniform than a polo does, and the logo is in front of customers for the whole shift. Beauty clinics, salons and spas dress front desk and treatment teams in a single plain colour, which keeps the look consistent across a roster. Events and festivals put them on promo staff and brand ambassadors, who are seen all day by the crowd.
Multi-site groups that reorder the same dress each season can ask us about an online store and uniform program through the enquiry form.
What goes well with a branded dress?
For layering, our AS Colour ladies sweatshirts and knits work over either dress in winter. A team that wants a separates option can look at AS Colour ladies shirts and polos or AS Colour ladies t-shirts, and warm-weather staff often add AS Colour caps and hats. For new starters, our kitting service packs a dress with other items, and women's clothing has the wider range.
