Tailored Red Carpet Dresses in Cashmere with Padded Shoulder
A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a tailored red carpet dresses around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Spain and needed tailored 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Cashmere 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.
- 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Nonprofit Organization 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.
