Thank you so much for the detailed overview \u2014 this is very \nhelpful, and your MOQ structure works much better for us at this stage as a \nnew brand.\nPlease find attached our updated technical drawing for the longline \nbalconette bra, developed for fuller cup sizes (EU F\u2013I).\nFit model measurements (for sample development):\n\n*\tUnderbust (band size): 77cm\n*\tFull bust (over fullest point): 100cm\n*\tUpper bust (above bust, underarm level): 98cm\n*\tShoulder width: 46cm\n*\tBack length (shoulder to waist): 38cm\n*\tCurrent bra size (EU): 70H\n*\tCurrent fit issues: straps too thin, spillage due to smaller cups\n\nConstruction details:\n\n*\tBack closure: 3\u00d73 hook configuration (3 columns, 3 rows) for support and \nlength adjustability\n*\tStraps: front straps slightly wider\/padded compared to back straps \n(reference: approx. 1.0cm front \/ 0.6cm back) \u2014 open to your recommendation \non exact measurements based on construction and comfort\n*\tLongline band: kept at full length\/width below the bust for a smooth, \nshapewear-like silhouette\n\nAdditional comfort\/construction preferences, as our main goal is strong \nsupport for a fuller bust while still feeling soft, comfortable and \nfeminine:\n\n*\tSoft or lightly padded straps that are supportive without digging into the \nshoulders\n*\tA soft\/padded underwire channel for additional comfort\n*\tNo rigid side boning if possible\n*\tLightly lined or lightly moulded cups rather than heavy padding or push-up\n*\tGood side support to create a lifted, rounded, forward-facing shape\n*\tA soft, supportive stretch fabric for the longline section with enough \nrecovery to stay in place, without feeling like strong shapewear\n*\tA comfortable bottom edge\/construction that helps prevent the longline \nfrom rolling up\n\nQuantities: as a new brand just entering the market, we'd like to start with \nyour minimum \u2014 400 units for this one style \u2014 as a trial run to validate fit \nand market response before scaling up.\nTarget production deadline: We don't have a fixed deadline at this stage \u2014 \nour priority right now is getting the sample right, and we'll plan the \nproduction timeline once we've reviewed and approved it.\nOne quick clarification: in your previous email, you mentioned needing \"your \nproduction price per style\" \u2014 could you clarify what you mean by this? We \nassumed pricing would come from your side once you've reviewed the tech \npack, so we want to make sure we understand correctly before responding.\nLooking forward to hearing your thoughts, and happy to answer any further \nquestions about the design.\nBest regards,\nNicoletta Mannella & Janine Reyes\n\u200b \n\n   \n001-01.jpeg\n\n\n  _____\n\nVon: Matilde Azevedo \nGesendet: Montag, 27.
