Capsule Evening Gown in boucle with Cut-Out Detail
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a capsule evening gown around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Mexico 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
What we specified
| Product | Capsule Evening Gown |
|---|---|
| Client type | A National Retail Chain |
| Market | Mexico |
| Order volume | 120 pieces across 2 colourways |
| Base material | boucle |
| Signature detail | Cut-Out Detail |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
| Compliance | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 |
How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- boucle 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.
- Cut-Out Detail 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a National Retail Chain 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.
