Managing Deposits and Fabrics: A Financial Guide for Fashion Designers

The hardest part of fashion design isn't the sewing. It's the math. A client pays a 50% deposit for a wedding guest outfit. You buy the fabric, lining, and stone embellishments.

By the time they pay the balance, do you actually know if you made a profit? ChopMoney helps you track partial payments and deduct the exact cost of materials from every dress or suit, so you know exactly how much your creativity is worth.

Track Deposits and Balances

Client pays ₵500 deposit on a ₵1,200 outfit? Log the deposit in ChopMoney and see the outstanding balance clearly. Send a reminder when it's time to collect the rest.

Calculate True Costs Per Order

Fabric: ₵300. Buttons: ₵20. Embroidery thread: ₵15. Stones: ₵80. When you add up all the materials for each order, you can see if your pricing is actually profitable.

Don't Lose Money on Custom Orders

Many tailors underprice their work because they don't account for all their material costs. ChopMoney shows you the real numbers so you can price confidently.

Manage Multiple Orders

During wedding season, you might have 10 orders in progress. Keep track of who's paid what, what materials you've bought, and which orders are due when.
