Casual Plus Size Dresses for a Film Production House in Switzerland
A Film Production House approached us with a casual plus size dresses requirement for Switzerland. 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 | Casual Plus Size Dresses |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Film Production House |
| Market | Switzerland |
| Order volume | 8,000 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Seersucker |
| Decoration | Satin Printed Label |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Seersucker and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Satin Printed Label 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
- 8,000 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% 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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
