Long Sleeve Prom Dresses for a Boutique Fitness Studio in China
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us with a long sleeve prom dresses requirement for China. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
What we specified
| Product | Long Sleeve Prom Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Boutique Fitness Studio |
| Market | China |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Power Mesh |
| Decoration | Padding and Wadding |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Power Mesh and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Padding and Wadding after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.
Result
- 500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
