Boutique Evening Gown in Mohair with Fringe Trim
Boutique Evening Gown in Mohair with Fringe Trim
A Professional Sports Club approached us to develop a boutique evening gown around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for France and needed boutique 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The evening gown was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe Trim 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Professional Sports Club launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
