Tailored Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Silk with Chunky Chain Strap
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a tailored plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed tailored 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Boutique Fitness Studio 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.
