Chic Soft Knit Baby Ensemble in Ribbed Jersey with Open Back
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a chic soft knit baby ensemble around a single idea: open back, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Thailand and needed chic 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

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 soft knit baby ensemble was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Open Back 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC Brand 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.
