Contemporary Plus Size Arm Shaper in Organza with Delicate Pleating

Contemporary Plus Size Arm Shaper in Organza with Delicate Pleating

An Amazon Private Label Seller approached us to develop a contemporary plus size arm shaper around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed contemporary 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

• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Organza was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size arm shaper was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Delicate Pleating 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Amazon Private Label Seller 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.
