Pre-Sample Pre-Orders (PSPOs)

 

The Final Approved Sample of the Woodland Shorts (Brown)

We are genuinely thrilled to announce that the Woodland Shorts base design has finally been approved! In-Depth Size Charts have been uploaded to the listing, and we encourage you to double check those and reach out to us (support@mochipan.com) if you need to update your size or shipping address. 

The fabric content is 98.2% Cotton, 1.8% Spandex. The construction of the Woodland Shorts is like that of a denim short with a modest amount of stretch and give in the waist. You can expect this garment to behave like jeans with spandex/stretch content in them.

The Woodland Shorts (Brown) Pre-Order window has closed, and the next chance to purchase will be during a future restock. Production has begun, and we anticipate shipping to customers will begin in late March.

We are very happy to see production begin on this long-awaited project but understand that many of you have been waiting an exceedingly long time on these. If you have other items ready to ship on an order containing the Woodland Shorts, Please let us know, and we will ship them out at no additional cost.

The Woodland Shorts (Green Colorway)

While the Brown colorway is ready to begin production, the Green colorway is still under review. Going forward, these two colorways will be split into two sections on the Newsletter.

The Woodland Shorts in Green will be using the same approved base as the Brown, though the fabric color still needs to be seen in person to be approved. We are testing out two different green fabrics concurrently in an effort to speed up the approval process. These two samples are waiting for embroidery to finish, and we hope to receive them before the next Newsletter goes up.

As with the the Brown Shorts, please reach out to us if you have other items waiting to ship in an order with the Woodland Shorts (Green)

The Final Approved Sample of the Honey Bee Summer Gown

The Honey Bee Summer Gown is the second of three long-running Pre-Sample Pre-Orders that we are ecstatic to announce has had the final product approved! In-Depth Size Charts have been uploaded to this listing as well, and we are asking customers to submit size/address change requests if need be. 

The new In-Depth Size Charts are measurements of this gown flat, not while worn. The back of the dress has shirring that provides a significant amount of stretch, so pay more attention to the bust measurements from the Quick Sizing Guide, as they are more indicative of the bust measurements per size.

The fabric content is 85% Rayon, 15% Linen. The waist band wing bow is 100% Tencel.

The Honey Bee Summer Gown Pre-Order window has closed, and the next chance to purchase will be during a future restock. Production has begun, and we anticipate shipping to customers will begin in late March.

We’re excited to finally begin production on this long-anticipated project! As with the Woodland Shorts, if your order includes the Honey Bee Summer Gown and other items that are ready to ship, let us know! We’ll send the available items separately at no extra charge.

The Death’s Head Moth Cropped Jacket is the final of three Pre-Sample Pre-Orders to have its final design approved! In-Depth Size Charts have been uploaded to this listing as well, and we are asking customers to submit size/address change requests if need be. 

The fabric content for the exterior is 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex. The interior lining is 100% Cotton.

The Death's Head Moth Cropped Jacket Pre-Order window has closed, and the next chance to purchase will be during a future restock. Production has begun, and we anticipate shipping to customers will begin in late March.

As with the Woodland Shorts and Honey Bee Summer Gown, if your order includes any of the Moth Cropped Jackets and other items that are ready to ship, let us know! We’ll send the available items separately at no extra charge.

The Peacock Moth and Mothman Cropped Jackets

Now that the Moth Cropped Jacket base design has been approved, we can finish development on the other two variants with PSPOs – the Peacock Moth and Mothman. We have already begun sampling these two variants, and the printing phase is currently underway.

The In-Depth Size Charts made for the Death’s Head variant also apply to these two, and have been uploaded to their listings as well. The fabric content is the same – the exterior is 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex. The interior lining is 100% Cotton.

As with the previous projects, we welcome customers to reach out and let us know if the rest of your order has been waiting on this PSPO, and we would be happy to ship your items in advance of this jacket at no additional cost.

The Spanish Moon Moth Dress’ most recent sample is very promising, and we believe one more sample will get us across the finish line. We have submitted the requested changes to aim for a knee length fit, and are also changing the spots on the bottom section and neckline to a lighter shade to more closely match the sketch. 

If your order is only waiting on the Moth Dresses, please reach out! We’re happy to ship the rest of your order now at no extra cost as a thank-you for your understanding.

The Mothman Dress' current sample is disappointing to say the least. The fabric colors are too light, the bust shape needs work, and the scalloped neckline was lost in translation, among other things.

We have submitted changes to our factory partners to bring this dress more in line with our original vision. As it stands, this variant needs more work than the Spanish Moon Moth variant, so we have set its shipping estimate to a month behind its sister design.

If your order is only waiting on the Moth Dresses, please reach out! We’re happy to ship the rest of your order now at no extra cost as a thank-you for your understanding.

The last sample for the Love-Me Dress has been reviewed in full-- and the look is great, but the sample showed the following issues:

• Tightness in the shoulders
• Low-Quality Accessories/Peripheries
• Recycled Polyester Lining (Cotton is the final goal, for a smoother feel)
• Wearability/Quality of Life Issues 

There have consistently been comments made expressing disappointment with the look of the Love-Me Dress’ fabric. We want only the best for our customers, and as such, we are exploring an alternative fabric that will satisfy our need for high quality and meet our customer’s expectations. The fabric we are looking at has a more crepe-y texture that we hope will look higher quality and less "flat".

This does however mean that more samples will be required. In addition, through developing this style, the complexity of design has shown to take a higher than average time to accomplish. To account for what will likely be a longer production time than many of our other projects once a final sample is approved and mass production begins, we have extended the shipping estimate to end of May.

Please continue to monitor our updates, and let us know if the timeline doesn't work for you moving forward. We're always happy to help at support@mochipan.com.

The Love-Me-Not Dress is a variant of the Love-Me Dress, and shares the same level of intricate design and construction. 

The fabric changes being made to its sister design will apply here as well. Once we confirm the new fabric, progress will continue on the Love Me Not Dress.

The Glorp Cat Cropped Jacket and Skirt Set have both had their respective samples reviewed now, and we believe only one more sample of each are needed to reach a final, approvable product. 

That being said, in an effort to get long delayed projects out to customers as fast as possible, we have gotten into the habit of skipping the Photoshoot Phase. As this is one of our newer Pre-Sample Pre-Orders, we want to change that, and make sure customers waiting for a final approved sample before they make their purchase have a chance to see this out-of-this-world set in the best light possible. To that end, we have extended this project’s shipping estimate to May 15th.

If you need any assistance regarding your order, please reach out to us at support@mochipan.com – we are happy to assist.

Since the last time we spoke, we received the most recent sample of the Plague Doctor Dress, and here's the latest news and insights:

• The length issues have been resolved, and we found the fabric color to be much better when viewed in new lighting. The faux leather details are still planned to be improved however.
• The Mask detail is quite frankly sad and lifeless. We anticipate an entire overhaul of that aspect of the design will be needed to ensure a product our customers will be proud to wear.
• To this end, we are exploring the option of getting molds made for the Plague Doctor Mask. Our factory has let us know different sized masks will be needed for the different sizes of the design we currently offer. As such, this means experimentation is required to ensure the mask looks correct and proportionate regardless of dress size.

The Plague Doctor Dress, and the other designs that utilize a Plague Doctor Mask, are an incredibly ambitious style, working with details that are all new to us. As such, to ensure that this style is not rushed, that a photoshoot can be factored into the schedule, and that mass production is given the realistic time needed, we have made the decision to significantly change the timeline on this project. The new estimated shipping date for the Plague Doctor Dress will be mid-June.

We respect you as customers and greatly appreciate the trust you give us when you choose to purchase a PSPO. Given the significant jump in date, we ask that customers let us know if you are no longer willing to wait. All Pre-Sample Pre-Orders are eligible for a full refund, no questions asked. 

New Information:

The next sample is underway, and currently in the embroidery phase.

Early-Sample of the Aurora Borealis Suit Vest and Jacket

The Aurora Borealis Vest and Jacket have been received, reviewed, and changes submitted to our factory. As stated during previous Newsletters, we will be reinforcing the buttons to ensure they are secure and durable, moving the side seam forward to create a more slimming effect, and modifying the vest emblem embroidery for starters.

The next samples are still in progress, and we have also begun work on the Purple Aurora variants now that the base designs are closer to completion. Additionally, we have been developing a button down shirt and pants to complement the Vest, Jacket and Tie set. Those will be available for purchase later on.

As with the previous projects, we have adjusted the timeline to account for a photoshoot phase and ensure mass production has time to be completed.

Thank you for your continued interest in this stunning formal set. If you have any questions, or need to make any changes to your order, please reach out to us at support@mochipan.com.

The Apothecary Dress Set continues to see development behind the scenes. Above is a photo showing progress on an embroidery test. The sample is currently in the printing phase.

Taking into account the changes being made to our overall timelines based on new analyses, we believe a Summer 2026 shipping estimate is still realistic and will continue to keep you updated on this project’s progress.

Thanks so much for hanging in there with us on this long-term project. We’re working hard to make sure the final piece really feels worth the wait!
