Modern Pinnable Half Body Mannequin in boucle with Smocked Panel
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a modern pinnable half body mannequin around a single idea: smocked panel, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed modern 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- boucle 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.
- 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Yoga Retreat Brand 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.
