M Boutique – ellen & ollie
Posted in Designers
Molly Stevensstarted making dresses in July 2008. The first dress she made was way too big and it is now a bathing suit coverup. The second dress she made was also 3 sizes too big. The third dress finally fit! And that is how it all began.
Molly ended up making 16 dresses in July and she couldn’t stop. she wore one to my favorite boutique at home and the owner loved it! When she found out I made it she immediately asked me how much she was selling it for. she was shocked. Molly of course said “I can’t sell these, no one would buy this”. She was about to go back to school for the fall, but she told her she would keep working on the dresses to make them more presentable and buyable.
She did not have my sewing machine for the first part of fall semester.
I was taking 17 hours and I didn’t want to be distracted by sewing
She was constantly thinking up new dresses since I couldn’t actually make them. Finally, about 2 months into the fall semester, Molly brought her sewing machine to school (actually her mom’s). She started making dresses for my friends. She also got time to make the seams look good on the outside as well as the inside.
And the rest? History.
