Chic Long Sleeve Prom Dresses in Merino Wool with Sculptural Draping
A Public School District approached us to develop a chic long sleeve prom dresses around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Portugal 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Public School District 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.
