Avant-Garde Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in boucle with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Avant-Garde Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in boucle with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Bridal Studio approached us to develop a avant-garde long sleeve prom dresses around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed avant-garde 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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 long sleeve prom dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Bridal Studio 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.
