Elevated Red Carpet Dresses in Sequined Knit with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a elevated red carpet dresses around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Denmark and needed elevated 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The red carpet dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a National Retail Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
