Boutique Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Boutique Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Tencel with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Bridal Studio approached us to develop a boutique plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Colombia 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Tencel 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.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Bridal Studio 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.
