Boutique Pinnable Half Body Mannequin in Velvet with Sculptural Draping
A Military Supply Unit approached us to develop a boutique pinnable half body mannequin around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Thailand and needed boutique 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Velvet 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.
- Sculptural Draping 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Military Supply Unit 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.
