Capsule Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Crochet with Bow Detail

Capsule Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Crochet with Bow Detail

An Event Management Company approached us to develop a capsule plus size equestrian clothing around a single idea: bow detail, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed capsule 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
• 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. Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size equestrian clothing 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Event Management Company 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.
