Romantic Plus Size Beach Dresses in Crochet with Padded Shoulder
A Trade Show Exhibitor approached us to develop a romantic plus size beach dresses around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for France 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.
