Runway-Inspired Pink Prom Dresses in Crochet with Gathered Sleeves
An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a runway-inspired pink prom dresses around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed runway-inspired 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The pink prom dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Gathered Sleeves was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Influencer-Led Brand 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.
