For females who are about to action into church with their lovers, getting a set of best-fit & affordable wedding dress is indispensable. Undoubtedly works by well-known wedding gown designers is a dream for every woman but a majority of people will dismiss that idea in the first sight of their prohibitive prices. On the contrary, hardly can someone resist the temptation of Chinese marriage ceremony dresses with affordable price rather than bad workmanship. Because of this, cheap marriage ceremony dresses labeled "Made in China " are flooding into European and American markets.

However, as soon as the impact of financial meltdown and Chinese urbanization process, things seem to set out to change. "Workshop rent, water and electricity charges, labor cost-You know, anything is going up" helplessly said a marriage ceremony dress processing factory owner in Dongguan city, Guangdong province, "For me, the largest challenge will be the shortage of hands. Due to the rapid increase of just living expense in Dongguan city in the modern times, many experienced workers usually get a job in medium and small cities. Although we now have risen their wage by 15%, many skilled workers still played job-hopping."

To prove what he said, he showed us round his processing workshop. From the 1500 m2 workshop, about 200 staff are operating 24 hours a day to fill an order from www.discount-dress.com, an internet discount wedding gown wholesaler. He found a make-up "Empire Waist Chiffon Wedding ceremony Dress" (pictured off to the right), inspects it very carefully and then tells us that he has to increase its EXW price by 10% next 3 months or he'll throw money away. As outlined by what he explained, right before the 2010 Spring Festival, they still had 324 processing workers in whole 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 can I do? I not really know, maybe take one stage and search around before you take another." He was quoted saying using a sickly smile finally.

Actually, for years during the past, reduced labor cost is the trump card of Chinese manufacturers, making "Made in China" sweeping the entire world market. Nevertheless, since China's open and reform policy had become 31 years ago, China has changed a lot and Chinese labor relation is no exception. Nowadays, less than many personnel are ready to are hard as his or her parents sticking with the same payment when facing the ever-growing living price.

It is estimated every 1-dollar increase of labor cost will in the end add 4 dollars for the value, that can undoubtedly increase the risk for traditional benefit of "Made in China" start to decline. Is the end of inexpensive marriage ceremony dresses coming? Let's wait and find out!
