Parisian One-Shoulder Maxi Dress in Silk with Chunky Chain Strap
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a parisian one-shoulder maxi dress around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed parisian 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The one-shoulder maxi dress was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
