Statement Red Carpet Dresses in Tencel with Lace Inset
A Manufacturing Plant approached us to develop a statement red carpet dresses around a single idea: lace inset, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Belgium and needed statement 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Tencel 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.
- Lace Inset 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Manufacturing Plant launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
