Romantic Modern Lady Macbeth Costume in Merino Wool with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Romantic Modern Lady Macbeth Costume in Merino Wool with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Cruise Line approached us to develop a romantic modern lady macbeth costume around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed romantic 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
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The modern lady macbeth costume was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Cruise Line 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.
