Minimalist Ball Gown Wedding Dresses in Merino Wool with Open Back
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a minimalist ball gown wedding dresses around a single idea: open back, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed minimalist 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The ball gown wedding dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Open Back 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
