Contemporary Rhinestone Bodysuit in Ribbed Jersey with Draped Neckline
A Wholesale Distributor approached us to develop a contemporary rhinestone bodysuit around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed contemporary 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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 rhinestone bodysuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Draped Neckline 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Wholesale Distributor 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.
