Vintage-Inspired Plus Size Beach Dresses in Cashmere with Tonal Embroidery

Vintage-Inspired Plus Size Beach Dresses in Cashmere with Tonal Embroidery

A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a vintage-inspired plus size beach dresses around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed vintage-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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

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. Tonal Embroidery 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

• 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Corporate Procurement Team launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
