Chic Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Tulle with Sculptural Draping
Chic Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Tulle with Sculptural Draping
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a chic long sleeve prom dresses around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed chic 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Tulle 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.
- Sculptural Draping 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 Ski Resort launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
