Modern Tailored Pant in Sequined Knit with Lace Inset
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a modern tailored pant around a single idea: lace inset, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Ireland 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The tailored pant was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Independent Boutique 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.
