Bohemian Modern Lady Macbeth Costume in Suede with Padded Shoulder
Bohemian Modern Lady Macbeth Costume in Suede with Padded Shoulder
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a bohemian modern lady macbeth costume around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Egypt 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Suede was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The modern lady macbeth costume was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer 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.
