Contemporary White Long Sleeve Blouse With Collar in Metallic Thread with Open Back

Contemporary White Long Sleeve Blouse With Collar in Metallic Thread with Open Back

A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a contemporary white long sleeve blouse with collar around a single idea: open back, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed contemporary 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Metallic Thread 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. Open Back 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Shopify DTC Brand 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.
