Sculptural Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Sculptural Swim Shorts Girls Swimsuit in Crochet with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Private Clinic approached us to develop a sculptural swim shorts girls swimsuit around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed sculptural 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- 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.
- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The swim shorts girls swimsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Private Clinic 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.
