Tailored Modern Lady Macbeth Costume in Crochet with Feather Trim
Tailored Modern Lady Macbeth Costume in Crochet with Feather Trim
An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a tailored modern lady macbeth costume around a single idea: feather trim, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed tailored 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Crochet 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.
- Feather Trim 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The an Airline Catering Team 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.
