Parisian Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Metallic Thread with Covered Buttons
Parisian Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Metallic Thread with Covered Buttons
A Railway Operator approached us to develop a parisian long sleeve prom dresses around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed parisian 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Metallic Thread 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.
- Covered 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Railway Operator 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.
