Case Study: Custom Enclosed Toe Bodystocking for a Bridal Studio in the Netherlands
Enclosed Toe Bodystocking for a Bridal Studio in the Netherlands
A Bridal Studio approached us with a enclosed toe bodystocking requirement for the Netherlands. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production

What we specified
| Product | Enclosed Toe Bodystocking |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Bridal Studio |
| Market | the Netherlands |
| Order volume | 8,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Elastane Blend |
| Decoration | Hangtag and Packaging |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Elastane Blend and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Hangtag and Packaging after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.

Result
- 8,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
