For women who are about to step into church with their lovers, having a set of best-fit & affordable wedding dress is indispensable. No doubt works by well-known wedding dress designers is a dream for every woman but ,discount bridal dress,most people will dismiss that idea at the first sight of their prohibitive prices. On the contrary, hardly can someone resist the temptation of chinese wedding dresses with affordable price and not bad workmanship. For this reason, cheap wedding dresses labeled “Made in china ” are flooding into European and American markets.
However, after the impact of financial crisis and Chinese urbanization process, things seem to begin to change. “Workshop rent, water and electricity charges, labor cost-You know, every thing is going up” helplessly said a wedding dress processing factory owner in Dongguan city, Guangdong province, “For me, the biggest challenge is the shortage of hands. Due to the rapid increase of living cost in Dongguan city during the recent years, many experienced workers tend to get a job in medium and small cities. Although we have risen their wage by 15%, many skilled workers still played job-hopping.”
To prove what he said, he showed us around his processing workshop. In the 1500 m2 workshop, about 200 workers are operating around the clock to fill an order from www.Dressinwedding.com, an online discount wedding dress wholesaler. He picked up a make-up “Empire Waist Chiffon Wedding Dress” (pictured to the right), inspects it very carefully and then tells us that he has to increase its EXW price by 10% in the next 3 months or he will lose money. According to what he said, just before the 2010 Spring Festival, they still had 324 processing workers in total but the number dropped to 257 after the Lantern Festival-67 workers didn’t come back though their boss promised them a 260 RMB rise of wage. “What should I do? I don’t know, maybe take one step and look around before taking another.” He said with a sickly smile finally.
Actually, for a long time in the past, low labor cost is the trump card of Chinese manufacturers, making “Made in China” sweeping the world market. Nevertheless, since China’s open and reform policy came into existence 31 years ago, China has changed a lot and Chinese labor relation is no exception. Nowadays, not so many workers are willing to work as hard as their parents with the same payment when facing the ever-growing living cost. It is estimated every 1-dollar increase of labor cost will finally add 4 dollars to the selling price, which will no doubt cause the traditional advantage of “Made in China” begin to decline. Is the end of cheap wedding dresses coming? Let’s wait and see!
