Modern Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Mohair with Delicate Pleating

Modern Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Mohair with Delicate Pleating

A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a modern plus size competition swimsuits around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Turkey and needed modern 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• 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. Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size competition swimsuits 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

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Kidswear Subscription Box 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.
