Capsule Volleyball Compression Pants in Tulle with Lace Inset
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a capsule volleyball compression pants around a single idea: lace inset, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Nigeria and needed capsule 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built

- Tulle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The volleyball compression pants 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

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The an Independent Fashion Designer 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.
