Case Study: Custom Plus Size Competition Swimsuits for a Bridal Studio in the United Arab Emirates

Plus Size Competition Swimsuits for a Bridal Studio in the United Arab Emirates

A Bridal Studio approached us with a plus size competition swimsuits requirement for the United Arab Emirates. 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
• Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Nylon and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Garment Dyeing after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
3. A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
4. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
5. Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.

Result

• 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
• Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.0%.
• 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.
