Sculptural Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Silk with Sculptural Draping

Sculptural Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Silk with Sculptural Draping

A Construction Firm approached us to develop a sculptural plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed sculptural 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
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Sculptural Draping 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Construction Firm launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
