Capsule Elegant Evening Dresses in boucle with Contrast Topstitching
Capsule Elegant Evening Dresses in boucle with Contrast Topstitching
A Private Clinic approached us to develop a capsule elegant evening dresses around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for New Zealand 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 sample did not match the runway reference

- boucle 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.
- Contrast Topstitching was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- The a Private Clinic launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
