Chic Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Satin with Smocked Panel
A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a chic muslin swaddle blanket around a single idea: smocked panel, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Chile and needed chic 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Satin was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The muslin swaddle blanket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Smocked Panel 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Department Store Buyer 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.
