Runway-Inspired Plus Size Beach Dresses in Washed Linen with High-Low Hem
A Corporate Procurement Team approached us to develop a runway-inspired plus size beach dresses around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed runway-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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- 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.
