Designer Plus Size Arm Shaper in Satin with Tonal Embroidery
Designer Plus Size Arm Shaper in Satin with Tonal Embroidery
An Amazon Private Label Seller approached us to develop a designer plus size arm shaper around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed designer 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Satin 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.
- Tonal Embroidery 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% 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.
