Effortless Red Coat For Kids in Ribbed Jersey with High-Low Hem
Effortless Red Coat For Kids in Ribbed Jersey with High-Low Hem
A Dance School approached us to develop a effortless red coat for kids around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Brazil 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The red coat for kids was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- High-Low Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Dance School 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.
