Positioning
A quiet foundation for a capsule wardrobe: one considered piece that makes the everyday edit feel more complete.
Manufacturer brief / 01
A considered dress, made in small batches.
Forme is seeking a thoughtful apparel manufacturing partner for The Forme Everyday Dress — a practical, repeat-wear piece for a more grounded daily wardrobe.
The project / 02
The Forme Everyday Dress
Forme is building a small, intentional collection of everyday basics that work together naturally. This first dress is planned as a calm, useful layer — less about seasonal novelty, more about becoming a familiar part of someone's rotation.
We are at an early, collaborative stage and welcome manufacturing guidance that can help translate this point of view into a well-made first production run. We are not requesting a final quote against fixed technical specifications at this stage.
Working context / 03
Direction, not a locked specification.
Fit direction
An uncomplicated, easy-wearing silhouette. Detailed fit specifications and grading requirements will be refined during development.
Material & care
Composition and garment-specific care are not published yet. We are seeking informed sourcing guidance and will finalize care guidance with the selected material.
Forme will work with the selected partner to establish final measurements, construction, material composition, size range, labels, packaging, and garment-specific care instructions before production.
