Bohemian Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Suede with Tonal Embroidery
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a bohemian long sleeve prom dresses around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for France and needed bohemian 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
