Tailored Ball Gown Quinceanera Dresses in Merino Wool with Fringe Trim
Tailored Ball Gown Quinceanera Dresses in Merino Wool with Fringe Trim
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a tailored ball gown quinceanera dresses around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Chile and needed tailored 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built

- The ball gown quinceanera dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe 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.

Result
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a National Retail Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
