Case Study: Custom Long Sleeve Prom Dresses for a Private Clinic in Turkey
Long Sleeve Prom Dresses for a Private Clinic in Turkey
A Private Clinic approached us with a long sleeve prom dresses requirement for Turkey. 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
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production

What we specified
| Product | Long Sleeve Prom Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Private Clinic |
| Market | Turkey |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Spandex |
| Decoration | Placement Printing |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Spandex and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Placement Printing 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
- 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
