Casual Dress For Wedding for an Independent Boutique Brand in Spain
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us with a casual dress for wedding 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
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
What we specified
| Product | Casual Dress For Wedding |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Independent Boutique Brand |
| Market | Spain |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Pima Cotton |
| Decoration | Pantone Color Matching |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| 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 Pantone Color Matching 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
- 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.

Tell us the quantity, target price and delivery window, and we will build a customisation programme around those three numbers.
