Knit skirts
Produksee manufactures knit skirts in Indonesia, including ribbed and cable-structure midi and long-line styles. Knitted bottoms require controlled recovery at the waistband and stable vertical structure so the garment holds its length in wear, produced for export and domestic brands.
The problem
A knitted skirt has one job that a knitted top never has: it must not grow. Gravity works on a vertical panel all day, and a rib that recovers beautifully at the cuff of a sweater will let a skirt drop two centimetres by the afternoon.
Construction
What we control on a knitted bottom
Waistband recovery
Elastic or knitted-in, the waistband is what the whole garment hangs from. It is specified against the finished garment weight, not the fabric weight.
Vertical growth
Panels are hung and measured after relaxation, so the length on the size chart is the length after a day of wear.
Rib and cable structure
The vertical structure on a skirt like this sample is doing structural work as well as decorative work — it is what stops the panel from spreading.
Opacity
A knitted bottom is checked for opacity under tension, not flat on a table, because that is the condition it fails in.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Do you produce matching knit sets?
Yes, and a top and skirt intended to match should be produced in the same run from the same dye lot. Matching across runs is matching two different lots.
Can you line a knitted skirt?
Yes. Lining changes the drape considerably, so we sample lined and unlined if the effect matters to the style.
What lengths can you produce?
Mini through to full length. Longer panels need more attention to growth — see above.
Frequently asked

Knit cardigans
A cardigan is judged at the button band. It carries the wearer's eye, it takes the most handling, and it is the first place a badly balanced knit shows itself — the band ripples, the fronts hang unevenly, and the garment looks cheap before anyone has read the label.
Sweaters & pullovers
An oversized sweater is not a fitted sweater cut larger. The drop shoulder moves the balance point off the shoulder seam, so the whole garment hangs from the neckline instead — and if the neck rib is knitted at the wrong tension, the body pulls the collar out of shape within a season.
Knit vests
A vest is mostly edge. Take the sleeves off a knitted garment and the armhole, the neckline and the front band become almost the whole thing — which is why a vest exposes bad finishing faster than any other knit in a range.
Knit polos
A knit polo is where the factory's collar work is on public display. Tipping, striping, and placket alignment all have to land within a millimetre of each other on a piece the wearer sees in the mirror every time they put it on.
Knit tops
Pointelle and open-stitch fabrics are the hardest thing in a knitwear range to keep consistent. The holes are deliberate, which means every irregularity reads as a fault rather than as texture — and blocking, not knitting, is where they are won or lost.
Zip-up knit jackets
Putting a zip into a knitted garment is a structural problem, not a trim problem. A zip is rigid and the fabric around it is not, so unless the band is stabilised properly the front waves — and a waving zip is the single most common reason a knitted jacket gets rejected at inspection.
Custom & jacquard knitwear
In a jacquard, the pattern is not printed onto the garment — it is the garment. The colour changes are structural, which is why a jacquard cannot be corrected after knitting and why the swatch stage is where the money is actually spent.
