Parisian Plus Size Beach Dresses in Organza with Gathered Sleeves
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a parisian plus size beach dresses around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed parisian 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Organza was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The plus size beach dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Gathered Sleeves was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a National Retail Chain 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.
