Romantic White Long Sleeve Blouse With Collar in boucle with Delicate Pleating

A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a romantic white long sleeve blouse with collar around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Taiwan and needed romantic 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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The white long sleeve blouse with collar was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Delicate Pleating was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Coffee Roaster Chain 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.
