Luxe Red Carpet Dresses in Velvet with Lace Inset
Luxe Red Carpet Dresses in Velvet with Lace Inset
A Dance School approached us to develop a luxe red carpet dresses around a single idea: lace inset, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Finland and needed luxe 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
