Avant-Garde Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Organic Denim with Feather Trim

Avant-Garde Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Organic Denim with Feather Trim

A Department Store Buyer approached us to develop a avant-garde plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic around a single idea: feather trim, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed avant-garde 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
• 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. Organic Denim 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. Feather Trim 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-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

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