Editorial Female Half Body Mannequin in Organza with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Editorial Female Half Body Mannequin in Organza with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Professional Sports Club approached us to develop a editorial female half body mannequin around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed editorial 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Organza was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The female half body mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Professional Sports Club 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.
