Contemporary 80S Fashion Girls Pants in Ribbed Jersey with High-Low Hem
Contemporary 80S Fashion Girls Pants in Ribbed Jersey with High-Low Hem
A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a contemporary 80s fashion girls pants around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Malaysia and needed contemporary 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The 80s fashion girls pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- High-Low Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Maternity Wear Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
