Let me whinge.

Lolitas.

I got to whinge a bit…

Yesterday, we met with a US-based vintage pattern company - like many other fashion companies, we don’t design all patterns ourselves. It’s not really feasible given we’re only three designers creating hundreds of patterns on a yearly basis. And it’s also great to see what other people are doing as you do get company blind.

This was my first meeting and I was pretty excited about it. But my gosh she disappointed. None of the patterns appealed and sorry, but she looked like she’d just stepped out of a funeral. Maybe I’m terrible naive (?) but if you spend most of your working hours in vintage haven, shouldn’t you also look and act the part…

UPDATE! Met with another pattern company this morning - and this time we didn’t leave emty handed!
