Elevated Maternity Compression Stockings in Crochet with High-Low Hem
Elevated Maternity Compression Stockings in Crochet with High-Low Hem
A Uniform Supplier approached us to develop a elevated maternity compression stockings around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed elevated 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The maternity compression stockings was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- High-Low Hem 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Uniform Supplier 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.
