Alright, so every budding fashion designing future lawyer (hehehehe bet you didn't see that one coming;) ) needs a parter in crime. I have found mine. Her name is Eli. We will be calling our brand "Persephone and Diana" at the end of the summer, we will be hosting a fashion show to about 50 of our nearest and dearest. Who will be modeling in it? Girls with completely different builds. The outfits will be custom made for their body type which ranges from model to tiny and a bit chubby. Eli and I will also be walking in the show. We want to do this to show our girls that THEIR body is beautiful. THEIR body is special. THEIR body is gorgeous.
Anyway, lets dwell on the present. Here's some background information on Eli - we met when we were four and became best friends, we ended up going to the same elementary and middle school but drifted apart for a few years, she is a major computer geek and an artist, she will be designing some of the dresses and will help with my sewing skills (God knows I need all the help I can get), she will be moving to Texas soon, so we will have another state to promote our business in.
I'm very excited for this project! Next weekend, I plan on picking up my materials in order to get started. I PROMISE TO POST 987987987 PICTURES!!! I hope to make AT LEAST three dresses.
GOOD LUCK FELLOW BEAUTIFUL THRIFTERS!!!

First Post
All of my life, I have had an unnatural obsession with fashion. Sadly I find myself loving only things that I cannot afford. When ever I find that something is in my price range, it does not even look like something worth purchasing. All the hot designs that I crave are INCREDIBLY expensive, but simple.*cough cough CHANEL*
So, I decided that I am through with mainstream Louisiana "fashion", from now on, I will be making the majority of my wardrobe.
Since my sewing skills do not exceed hand stitching a pillow the size of my foot at age seven, I will have to be sticking with dresses for a very. very. very. long time.
Another issue that I have is the dreaded hour glass figure. Or pear, but its more like hourglass. Because of this curse, I will also be faced with the issue of making things that will be figure flattering.
One of my dreams is to go to Columbia University in the city of New York. That is also one of the reasons that I have to start making my own clothing. The school that I will be attending has the credibility and record of academic excellence to get me to Columbia, but my parents cannot help with college and have been continuously telling me that we need to scrimp, I REALLY HOPE THREE DOLLAR T-SHIRT DRESSES ARE CONSIDERED SCRIMPING.
Please, watch me evolve. By the end of the summer of 2010, I plan on having completed 50 dresses. I really hope my sewing skills improve over this period of time as well.
WISH ME LUCK FELLOW BEAUTIFUL THRIFTERS!!!!!
