Luxe Baby Shower Maternity Dresses in Velvet with Padded Shoulder
Luxe Baby Shower Maternity Dresses in Velvet with Padded Shoulder
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a luxe baby shower maternity dresses around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for the United States and needed luxe 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
