Red Carpet Dresses for a Ski Resort in Vietnam
A Ski Resort approached us with a red carpet 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
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
What we specified
| Product | Red Carpet Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Ski Resort |
| Market | Vietnam |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Satin |
| Decoration | Laser Cutting |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Satin and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Laser Cutting 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
- 500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 2.0%.
- 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.
