Tailored Girls Training Bras in Merino Wool with Delicate Pleating

Tailored Girls Training Bras in Merino Wool with Delicate Pleating

An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a tailored girls training bras around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed tailored 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The girls training bras was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Delicate Pleating 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Independent Fashion Designer 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.
