Pink Prom Dresses for a Pet Grooming Franchise in Norway
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us with a pink prom dresses requirement for Norway. 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
What we specified
| Product | Pink Prom Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Pet Grooming Franchise |
| Market | Norway |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 2 colourways |
| Base fabric | Silk Charmeuse |
| Decoration | Dye-Sublimation Printing |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Silk Charmeuse and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Dye-Sublimation 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
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-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
Fix the size ratio early. Changing the ratio after cutting starts is the single most expensive change a client can request.
