Avant-Garde Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Cashmere with Sculptural Draping

Avant-Garde Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Cashmere with Sculptural Draping

An Event Management Company approached us to develop a avant-garde plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for New Zealand 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
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Cashmere 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 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The an Event Management Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
