Capsule Elegant Evening Dresses in Ribbed Jersey with Open Back
Capsule Elegant Evening Dresses in Ribbed Jersey with Open Back
A Government Agency approached us to develop a capsule elegant evening dresses around a single idea: open back, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed capsule 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- 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.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The elegant evening 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Government Agency 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.
