Effortless Tea-Length Mother Of The Bride Dresses in Washed Linen with High-Low Hem

Effortless Tea-Length Mother Of The Bride Dresses in Washed Linen with High-Low Hem

An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a effortless tea-length mother of the bride dresses around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Chile and needed effortless 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
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The tea-length mother of the bride dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. High-Low Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. 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 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Independent Boutique Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
