Vintage-Inspired Female Half Body Mannequin in Organza with Feather Trim
Vintage-Inspired Female Half Body Mannequin in Organza with Feather Trim
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a vintage-inspired female half body mannequin around a single idea: feather trim, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed vintage-inspired 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- The female half body mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Feather Trim 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Yoga Retreat Brand 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.
