Parisian Formal Evening Dresses in Organza with Chunky Chain Strap
Parisian Formal Evening Dresses in Organza with Chunky Chain Strap
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a parisian formal evening dresses around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed parisian 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
