Effortless Female Half Body Mannequin in Merino Wool with Crystal Embellishment

Effortless Female Half Body Mannequin in Merino Wool with Crystal Embellishment

A Cycling Team approached us to develop a effortless female half body mannequin around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed effortless 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

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 female half body mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Crystal Embellishment 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 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Cycling Team 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.
