Elevated Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Sequined Knit with Bow Detail

Elevated Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Sequined Knit with Bow Detail

A Golf Club approached us to develop a elevated plus size competition swimsuits around a single idea: bow detail, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for South Africa and needed elevated 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 sample did not match the runway reference
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Sequined Knit 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. Bow Detail 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 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Golf Club 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.
