Sculptural Red Carpet Dresses in Suede with Feather Trim
Sculptural Red Carpet Dresses in Suede with Feather Trim
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a sculptural red carpet dresses around a single idea: feather trim, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed sculptural 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Suede 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.
- Feather Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Yoga Retreat Brand 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.
