Modern Female Half Body Mannequin in Ribbed Jersey with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Modern Female Half Body Mannequin in Ribbed Jersey with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Ski Resort approached us to develop a modern female half body mannequin around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Colombia 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Ski Resort launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
