Case Study: Custom Pink Prom Dresses for a Cycling Team in South Korea
Pink Prom Dresses for a Cycling Team in South Korea
A Cycling Team approached us with a pink prom dresses requirement for South Korea. 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
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric

What we specified
| Product | Pink Prom Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Cycling Team |
| Market | South Korea |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Mesh |
| Decoration | Tonal Embroidery |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Mesh and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Tonal Embroidery 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.5%.
- 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.
