Tailored Plus Size Beach Dresses in Sequined Knit with Chunky Chain Strap
Tailored Plus Size Beach Dresses in Sequined Knit with Chunky Chain Strap
A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a tailored plus size beach dresses around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed tailored 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
