Effortless Plus Size Beach Dresses in Cashmere with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Effortless Plus Size Beach Dresses in Cashmere with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a effortless plus size beach dresses around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Nigeria 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Cashmere was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size beach dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Boutique Fitness Studio 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.
