Howdy MochiFam,
We're a little more than half way through January, and that means it's time for the Mochipan Pre-Order Updates Newsletter #35!
The most exciting news is that the Goth Swimsuit & Swimskirt sets will begin shipping this week! The shipment has arrived at our warehouse and is now being prepped to be sent out. In addition, the Shark Bite Jackets have been shipped to the warehouse, with the Shark Bite Tech Pants soon to follow. This means we should be able to begin shipping those as well this week or next!
Our Monarch Cardigan Pre-Order Round #4 production also finished ahead of schedule, and we have already started fulfilling those orders not waiting on any other pre-orders!
This year is off to a strong start for development and production, and we’re so excited to be wrapping up these long-awaited projects so you can finally experience the designs in person. Thank you for your continued trust-- we’re working hard to bring each piece to life.

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. The digital pattern for the new length should be finished this week, meaning start of construction on the next sample is close at hand.
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 since changed the fabric to that of the Honey Bee Summer Gown (85% Rayon, 15% Linen), as we've already tested this fabric and know it to be high quality, a good texture and drape, and ideal for printed patterns. Sampling utilizing this new fabric and implementing our other requested changes will commence this week.
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.

Sewing will begin soon for the Love-Me Dress' next sample. In an effort to solve the issue of constricting sleeves/arm holes, as well as our customers feedback that the main fabric looks "flat", we have chosen a new fabric with moderate stretch and a crepe-like texture. As this design is complex, with a large amount of details, we expect to have more to report in the February 15th Newsletter.
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.

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.

Embroidery has concluded on the next Plague Doctor Dress sample, and sewing began earlier this week. As this is a complex design with many parts, we anticipate construction to finish in early February.
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, the current estimated shipping date rests at mid-June. Please feel free to contact us if ever this timeline does not work for you.

Early-Sample of the Aurora Borealis Suit Vest and Jacket
The Aurora Borealis Jacket's latest sample has been approved for the base design, and the Vest and Tie are also very likely to be approved once reviewing is completed.
We have seen the first strike-offs for the Purple variant, and found it not to be vibrant enough. We will be submitting changes for the printing, though it may be after Chinese New Year when we see the next iteration.
As stated before, 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.
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.
