Case Study: Custom Ball Gown Wedding Dresses for a Promotional Products Company in Spain
Ball Gown Wedding Dresses for a Promotional Products Company in Spain
A Promotional Products Company approached us with a ball gown wedding dresses requirement for Spain. 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
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid

What we specified
| Product | Ball Gown Wedding Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Promotional Products Company |
| Market | Spain |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Pima Cotton |
| Decoration | Sequin Work |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Pima Cotton and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Sequin Work 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 1.5% 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.
