Bohemian Protective Clothing Factory Dress With Ppe in Crochet with Padded Shoulder
Bohemian Protective Clothing Factory Dress With Ppe in Crochet with Padded Shoulder
A Dance School approached us to develop a bohemian protective clothing factory dress with ppe around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Nigeria and needed bohemian 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The protective clothing factory dress with ppe was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Dance School launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
