Elevated Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Sequined Knit with Draped Neckline

Elevated Muslin Swaddle Blanket in Sequined Knit with Draped Neckline

A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a elevated muslin swaddle blanket around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom 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
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The muslin swaddle blanket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Draped Neckline was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-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.
