Elevated Bodycon Dress in Silk with Monogram Hardware
Elevated Bodycon Dress in Silk with Monogram Hardware
A Restaurant Chain approached us to develop a elevated bodycon dress around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed elevated 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The bodycon dress was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Monogram Hardware 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 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Restaurant Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
