Effortless Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Merino Wool with Lace Inset

Effortless Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Merino Wool with Lace Inset

A Trade Show Exhibitor approached us to develop a effortless plus size equestrian clothing around a single idea: lace inset, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed effortless 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

• The sample did not match the runway reference
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool 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. Lace Inset 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Trade Show Exhibitor 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.
