Romantic Designer Mother Of The Bride Dresses in Crochet with Hand-Finished Hem

An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a romantic designer mother of the bride dresses around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed romantic 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The designer mother of the bride dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Hand-Finished Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Independent Boutique Brand 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.
