Vintage-Inspired Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Silk with Fringe Trim
Vintage-Inspired Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Silk with Fringe Trim
A Security Company approached us to develop a vintage-inspired long sleeve prom dresses around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed vintage-inspired 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The long sleeve prom dresses 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Security Company 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.
