Tailored Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Vegan Leather with Draped Neckline

Tailored Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Vegan Leather with Draped Neckline

A Gym Chain approached us to develop a tailored plus size competition swimsuits around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed tailored 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
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• 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. Vegan Leather 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. Draped Neckline 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Gym Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
