Statement Elegant Evening Dresses in Ribbed Jersey with Raw-Edge Detailing

Statement Elegant Evening Dresses in Ribbed Jersey with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Mining Company approached us to develop a statement elegant evening dresses around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Colombia and needed statement 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
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The elegant evening dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Mining Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
