Case study / Performance apparel
A coordinated dress-and-short system developed through colour, construction, fit and material definition.
The development journey
The dress and its separate short move through the same sequence-from visual intent to construction, fit, materials and a clear final representation.
Confidentiality note Some details in the original technical documents have been intentionally blurred to comply with NDA obligations and client approval requirements.
Stage 01 / Visual direction
The colour CAD aligns four colourways across front and back views. The quarter zip, contrast trims, waist treatment and flared silhouette remain consistent throughout the range.
Stage 02 / Technical definition
The dress and separate compression short are resolved together. Construction drawings connect the mock collar, quarter zip, flared hem and waist detail to the companion short’s pocket, panel and gusset construction.
Stage 03 / Fit system
The guide maps points of measure to the dress, while separate graded sheets carry the system across both the outer garment and compression short.
Measurement values and client details remain intentionally blurred in the original files.
Stage 04 / Material definition
The bill of materials gathers each component into one production reference, connecting item description, placement, content, colour, quantity and supplier information.
Stage 05 / Visual resolution
Three-dimensional colour and lifestyle renders bring the preceding decisions together, showing proportion, drape, trim relationships and the finished product character across the selected range.
