Modern Ribbed Top in Washed Linen with Gathered Sleeves
A Bridal Studio approached us to develop a modern ribbed top around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed modern 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The ribbed top was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Gathered Sleeves 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Bridal 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.
