Ever since I was 8 years old, I've had a unique fashion sense: I insisted on wearing blue suede clogs during brutal Chicago winters. Little Cindy wanted to wear what she wanted, and that was that. I didn't care if I was cold. I was the ONLY one dressed that way and that's all that mattered.
Years later, I had my own daughters. And as genetics would dictate, they were just as picky as I was. They wanted a very special dress, unlike anything they had ever seen. And they had to be dressy enough to go to a ball! But they had to be comfortable enough to run around! And in case they got bored with one side, they had to be reversible. And they had to TWIRL!
Needless to say, this dress was not available in the department stores or even small boutiques. I'd have to make it myself. No problem. All I would need was months of sewing classes, many, many hours of practicing with Marilyn Chaney - Seamstress Extraordinaire, several dozen trips to the Los Angeles fashion district, and a couple of sewing machines.
But it all paid off. My girls loved their dresses so much, they wouldn't take them off. And because they were REVERSIBLE, they rarely had to. Two special dresses to twirl and play in! They really felt special wearing them. As special as a little girl wearing blue suede shoes in a snowstorm.
Pretty soon, other parents were asking where I got these dresses. TwirlyGirl was born! That was two years ago. Since then, I've sold countless dresses. I hand pick the fabrics in the Los Angeles fashion district, selecting only fabrics of the highest quality. And everything is made by hand in Los Angeles as well.
Every child on this planet is vibrant and extraordinary. I'm proud to create clothing that helps them feel that way.
