Statement Lace Underpants in Sequined Knit with Open Back
Statement Lace Underpants in Sequined Knit with Open Back
A Trade Show Exhibitor approached us to develop a statement lace underpants around a single idea: open back, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed statement 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The lace underpants 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Trade Show Exhibitor 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.
