Romantic Plus Size Beach Dresses in Suede with Gathered Sleeves
Romantic Plus Size Beach Dresses in Suede with Gathered Sleeves
A Brewery and Taproom approached us to develop a romantic plus size beach dresses around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Peru and needed romantic 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
