Editorial Pink Prom Dresses in Washed Linen with Contrast Topstitching
Editorial Pink Prom Dresses in Washed Linen with Contrast Topstitching
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a editorial pink prom dresses around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed editorial 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Washed Linen 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.
- Contrast Topstitching 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

- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Boutique Fitness Studio launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
