Capsule Baby Shower Maternity Dresses in Ribbed Jersey with Gathered Sleeves

Capsule Baby Shower Maternity Dresses in Ribbed Jersey with Gathered Sleeves

A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a capsule baby shower maternity dresses around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Israel and needed capsule 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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The baby shower maternity dresses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Gathered Sleeves was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a University Athletic Department launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
