Designer Ballet Stirrup Leg Warmers in Sequined Knit with Waist Tie Belt
A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a designer ballet stirrup leg warmers around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed designer 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The ballet stirrup leg warmers was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Waist Tie Belt 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Nonprofit Organization 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.
