Modern Lady Macbeth Costume for a Cycling Team in Mexico
A Cycling Team approached us with a modern lady macbeth costume requirement for Mexico. 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
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
What we specified
| Product | Modern Lady Macbeth Costume |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Cycling Team |
| Market | Mexico |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Stretch Denim |
| Decoration | Yarn Dyeing |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Stretch Denim and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Yarn Dyeing 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
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% 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
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
