Sculptural Plus Size Arm Shaper in Crochet with Crystal Embellishment
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a sculptural plus size arm shaper around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Thailand and needed sculptural 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Crochet 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.
- Crystal Embellishment 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective 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.
