Boutique Ball Gown Wedding Dresses in Metallic Thread with Gathered Sleeves
Boutique Ball Gown Wedding Dresses in Metallic Thread with Gathered Sleeves
A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a boutique ball gown wedding dresses around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Vietnam and needed boutique 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
