Sculptural Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Merino Wool with Waist Tie Belt

Sculptural Elegant Long Sleeve Blouses in Merino Wool with Waist Tie Belt

A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a sculptural elegant long sleeve blouses around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed sculptural 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• 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. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The elegant long sleeve blouses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Waist Tie Belt 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

• 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Boutique Fitness Studio 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.
