Statement Sleeping Bonnet in Tulle with Draped Neckline
A Surf School approached us to develop a statement sleeping bonnet around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Canada and needed statement 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Tulle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The sleeping bonnet 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Surf School launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
