Case Study: Custom Pink Prom Dresses for a Film Production House in Vietnam
Pink Prom Dresses for a Film Production House in Vietnam
A Film Production House approached us with a pink prom dresses requirement for Vietnam. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs

What we specified
| Product | Pink Prom Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Film Production House |
| Market | Vietnam |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 2 colourways |
| Base fabric | Poplin |
| Decoration | Heat Transfer Printing |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Poplin and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Heat Transfer 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
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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.
