Case Study: Custom Casual Dress For Wedding for a Pet Grooming Franchise in Austria
Casual Dress For Wedding for a Pet Grooming Franchise in Austria
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us with a casual dress for wedding requirement for Austria. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing

What we specified
| Product | Casual Dress For Wedding |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Pet Grooming Franchise |
| Market | Austria |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Recycled Nylon |
| Decoration | Laser Engraving |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Recycled Nylon and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Laser Engraving 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
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-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
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
