Elevated Off-The-Shoulder Dresses in Cupro with Feather Trim
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a elevated off-the-shoulder dresses around a single idea: feather trim, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom and needed elevated 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Cupro was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The off-the-shoulder dresses 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.

- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marketing Agency 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.
