Effortless Female Half Body Mannequin in Ribbed Jersey with Covered Buttons

Effortless Female Half Body Mannequin in Ribbed Jersey with Covered Buttons

A Film Production House approached us to develop a effortless female half body mannequin around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Brazil 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Ribbed Jersey 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. Covered Buttons 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Film Production House 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.
