Contemporary Swimwear Set in Velvet with Open Back
Contemporary Swimwear Set in Velvet with Open Back
A Bridal Studio approached us to develop a contemporary swimwear set around a single idea: open back, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Singapore and needed contemporary 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The swimwear set was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Open Back 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Bridal Studio 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.
