Custom Team Uniforms NZ: What to Expect When Ordering for Your Practice or Salon

Ordering uniforms for an entire team is a different experience to buying a single garment for yourself. There are more people to consider, more sizing variables, and a higher expectation of consistency across the whole order.

At Designs by Rosalie, we work with a wide range of NZ businesses to deliver custom uniform orders that look great, fit well, and arrive on time — including medical clinics, hospitals, veterinary practices, dental surgeries, beauty salons, spas, and more. Here's exactly what to expect when you place a team order with us.

Step 1: Get in Touch to Discuss Your Requirements

Every team order starts with a conversation. We want to understand:

  • How many staff members need uniforms and their roles
  • Your preferred style or styles (tunics, scrub tops, dresses, or a mix)
  • Your practice or salon's colour scheme or branding requirements
  • Any specific functional requirements — extra pockets, particular sleeve lengths, logo embroidery
  • Your preferred fabric from our three options: 100% Polyester Mechanical Stretch (medium weight), 100% Polyester Breathable/Antibacterial (summer weight), or Polyester/Viscose (medium to heavy weight)

You can contact us here to start the conversation.

Step 2: Sizing Your Team

Getting the sizing right across a team is one of the most important parts of any group order. We recommend:

  • Having each staff member take their measurements using our sizing guide
  • Noting any specific fit preferences — longer hem, shorter sleeves, and so on
  • Flagging anyone who may need custom modifications outside standard sizing

Because all our garments are made to order, we can accommodate a wide range of sizes and body types. Every person on your team gets a uniform that actually fits — and because our tunics are cut with a generous body length in mechanical stretch fabric, they stay in place during physical tasks without riding up.

Step 3: Fabric and Style Selection

Once we know your team's requirements, we'll help you choose the right fabric and style for your environment:

  • Medical, dental, or vet clinic? The 100% Polyester Mechanical Stretch is our most popular choice — durable, easy-care, and works year-round.
  • Beauty salon or spa? The Mechanical Stretch works beautifully, or consider the Breathable/Antibacterial Summer Weight if your environment runs warm.
  • Front desk or reception staff? Our corporate Audrey or Shaz dresses are designed with client-facing roles in mind.

You can also mix fabrics or styles across your team to suit different roles. View all fabric options here.

Step 4: Placing Your Order

Once sizing and fabric choices are confirmed, we'll provide a quote for your full order. We'll confirm:

  • Final garment styles and quantities
  • Fabric choices per garment or per staff member
  • Any custom modifications required
  • Estimated production and delivery timeframe

Step 5: Production and Delivery

All garments are made to order right here in New Zealand:

  • No overseas shipping delays — produced and dispatched locally
  • Quality control at every step — we oversee production from start to finish
  • Direct communication — you're talking to the maker, not a call centre
