Romantic Saree Girls Blouses in Velvet with Contrast Topstitching
Romantic Saree Girls Blouses in Velvet with Contrast Topstitching
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a romantic saree girls blouses around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed romantic 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The saree girls blouses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Contrast Topstitching 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Coffee Roaster 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.
