Sculptural Womens Underpants in Tencel with Delicate Pleating
Sculptural Womens Underpants in Tencel with Delicate Pleating
An Event Management Company approached us to develop a sculptural womens underpants around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The womens underpants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The an Event Management Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
