Contemporary Modest High Neck Swimsuit in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Contemporary Modest High Neck Swimsuit in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Private Clinic approached us to develop a contemporary modest high neck swimsuit around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Mexico 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- 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.
- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The modest high neck swimsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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 Private Clinic 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.
