Tailored Formal Evening Dresses in Mohair with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a tailored formal evening dresses around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Malaysia and needed tailored 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
