Luxe Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Merino Wool with Crystal Embellishment
A Dance School approached us to develop a luxe long sleeve prom dresses around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed luxe 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
