Selling embellished clothes

Yes, that will be my new project for the year. Nevermind that I am so busy with the baby without any help and all that. I am so inspired by all these Moms out there that I want to do something too! So this is it. I will be selling clothes that have all things glitterati, twinkles, sparkles, bling-bling! and the best part??? I have hired my Mother to sew in all the blings so you can be sure that they are all original in design and of high quality. If you have an old piece of clothing that you’re bored with, or it has a stain, don’t throw it out yet! Send it over as we’ll give it a refreshing makeover so much so that you will love it again.

So, all this talk and we have only sewn 5 pieces so far. Heh. I’ve been wondering what the best way is to display the clothes. Hire a model to wear them? Or hang them with a hanger? Or lay them down flat? Hmmm…..if only I had the budget to get everything professionally done but unfortunately, this is a home-based no budget business……

Any ideas? Let me introduce my first Spanish Senorita top ala Lolita. Lolita was purchased from the Australian clothes store Suzanne Grae for AUD$40 and has never been worn. Brand new. It was plain red though and…..a bit plain. The only thing it had going was that it was pretty low cut. Sexy. I’m not sure why I bought it. It is made of Rayon/Viscose/Nylon and is stretchy and I hardly ever wear stretchy stuff due to my ‘voluptous’ figure. So I made Nana dress it up with some black sequins and she added a little bow to the front and voila! I present to you, Lolita…..

Obviously, I need to photograph these clothes with a better camera and certainly in better lighting!!! These were taken at night!!! Oh well, we live and learn. So, so, so??? How should I display these clothes? There are some very exciting pieces and after Nana was finished with them, I was like…..oh no…..I don’t want to sell them after all. They are so nice. But I cannot fit into them, so what should I do? The Hubs goes, SELL THEM!!!

Lolita sells for RM100. Yeah, that’s the Hubs’ price. He said he cannot lose money in this, just because I bought it for RM120 and then Nana put her sweat into sewing in the sequins, which also cost money plus she uses the most expensive thread for sewing sequins so that you can dump embellished clothes into the washing machine without worry. And the Hubs came up with RM100.

Of course, I’ll set up a new blog for this project. Eventually.

  1. Congrats on the new venture! Can’t wait to see more of it.

    Btw, I think using both the hanger and a life model to display the clothes will be perfect. Potential buyers will be able to see how it looks like without being worn and when it is worn by a real life person. Also, they’ll be able to gauge if they can fit into the clothes with a life model. 🙂

    All the best!
