Effortless Plus Size Arm Shaper in Sequined Knit with Feather Trim
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a effortless plus size arm shaper around a single idea: feather trim, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed effortless 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

- Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The plus size arm shaper was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Feather Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- The a Fast-Growing Startup Label 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.
