Editorial Baby Shower Maternity Dresses in Silk with Feather Trim
Editorial Baby Shower Maternity Dresses in Silk with Feather Trim
An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a editorial baby shower maternity dresses around a single idea: feather trim, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed editorial finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

- The baby shower maternity dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Feather Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
