Parisian Layering Sleeveless Shell Blouse in Cashmere with Draped Neckline
A Golf Club approached us to develop a parisian layering sleeveless shell blouse around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed parisian 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cashmere was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The layering sleeveless shell blouse was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Draped Neckline 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Golf Club 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.
