A clothing invoice is used by retail clothing stores, fashion designers, dry cleaners, seamstresses, and many other professionals in the clothing industry for collecting payment for the design, production, customization, dry cleaning, tailoring, or distributing of clothing of all types.

What to Include in the Invoice

Invoices, unlike bills and receipts, often include a wide variety of information to both provide sufficient details for the purchasing party and ensure a complete record of all transactions for end-of-year accounting and other back-end tasks. At a minimum, an invoice used for collecting payment for the rendering of clothing products (or services related to clothing) should identify the buyer and seller, the type of item/service (and quantity sold) the cost of each, and the total cost of the invoice (including taxes/VAT and other fees).

Additionally, the invoice should include information on the salesperson, when the item was ordered and shipped, the shipping company, the shipping address (include a separate field in case the shipping address is different than the billing address), and the terms of the order. Finally, including a section to list out any notes regarding the order or shipping is highly recommended to ensure the buyer has all the necessary details regarding the order.
