Tailored Short Sleeve Women T Shirts in Washed Linen with Lace Inset
Tailored Short Sleeve Women T Shirts in Washed Linen with Lace Inset
A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a tailored short sleeve women t shirts around a single idea: lace inset, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed tailored 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The short sleeve women t shirts was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Maternity Wear Brand 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.
