Avant-Garde Plus Size Beach Dresses in Suede with Chunky Chain Strap
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a avant-garde plus size beach dresses around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed avant-garde 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Suede was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The plus size beach dresses 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cruise Line 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.
