Silk Pajamas Guide
This guide explains how to sort a silk pajamas and sleepwear choice and what to include in an inquiry. It is a guide only: it presents no garment as a supplied design, and it states no claim about any item.
Start with the list, not with a single item: silk sleepwear guide
A sleepwear choice starts with the list: how many items, in which groups, and with which requirements beside each item. A single item seen on its own gives no sense of the list, and the questions that belong to one item can sit beside another item by mistake when the list has no grouping. Write the groups first, then the items, then the questions beside each item.
Silk pajamas and sleepwear are listed in the company's Alibaba shop at category level, and this site covers them at category level only. The guide questions below apply to any sleepwear list, whatever its size. The family page gives the same inquiry shape for a settled list.
Size and shape questions: silk sleepwear guide
Size and shape words appear often in buyer searches for sleepwear, including set wordings and short wordings. This site publishes no size or shape claim for any item. Name the size and shape requirements in the inquiry, beside the items they belong to, and ask what applies to each item. The buyer's own terms for size belong in the message, written out in full.
When a list spans more than one size or shape, keep the sizes and shapes in separate groups, with the requirements named for each group. A mixed list with no grouping makes the questions harder to place, and a requirement for one group can sit beside an item from another group by mistake.
Colour questions: silk sleepwear guide
Colour words appear in buyer searches for sleepwear, and buyers often arrive with a colour in mind. This site publishes no colour claim for any item. Name the colour requirements in the inquiry, beside the items they belong to, and ask what applies to each item.
Putting the inquiry together: silk sleepwear guide
A finished inquiry carries the item list, the quantities beside each item, the destination market for the list as a whole, and anything to settle in writing beside the items it belongs to. Add the size, shape and colour requirements beside the items they belong to, and keep the list and the questions together in one message.
- The groups in the list, with the items in each group
- Size and shape requirements, beside the items they belong to
- Colour requirements, beside the items they belong to
- Quantities beside each item, and the destination market for the list
A last pass over the sleepwear list
Go through the grouped list once more before sending, group by group, and check that every group carries its size and shape requirements beside the items they belong to, with the colour requirements beside the items they belong to as well. Sleepwear is covered at category level on this site, so the groups, not single items, carry the requirements. A group with no requirements beside its items is not finished: add the missing requirements to that group before the list goes out, in the buyer's own words.
Then go over the quantities beside each item and the destination market for the list as a whole, and keep the list and its questions in a single message. A sleepwear list that arrives in fragments forces the groups to be rebuilt from pieces, and the pieces rarely line up. Send the complete list each time, groups first, items inside groups, quantities and requirements beside the items they belong to, and keep a copy of the list as sent.
