Effortless Plus Size Beach Dresses in Crochet with Draped Neckline
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a effortless plus size beach dresses around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for the United Arab Emirates and needed effortless 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
