Luxe Pinnable Half Body Mannequin in Cupro with Delicate Pleating
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a luxe pinnable half body mannequin around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed luxe 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- 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.
- Cupro was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The pinnable half body mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hospital Group 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.
