Using an overseas manufacturer to cut costs doesn't make sense for you. You probably won't find a company to produce small quantities. By the time you pay the shipping/freight/taxes/permits or whatever else is added to your costs, your expenses will be outrageous.

Find a local seamstress or a U.S. manufacturer that will take small orders. Remember though, the smaller the order the higher the costs.
