Modern Plus Size Beach Dresses in Metallic Thread with Open Back
A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a modern plus size beach dresses around a single idea: open back, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for the United States and needed modern 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

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
