I get what you're saying that "designers" have to deal with all the selling and stuff like that, but everybody has to deal with that. It's not only them. Plenty of people out there sew clothes for pageantry all by themselves w/ out help. They weren't forced into the business so when they entered the business they KNEW it was going to be hard work. How is telling somebody to post a banner on a pageant board hard work? How is getting the word out there, that your stuff is for sale hard work? They're big name designers, they don't need the help as soon as they have stuff for sale people come running to buy. They don't post the ads anyway, others do.How is choosing what color for a dress you want hard work? How is putting stones on a dress hard work? My 10 yr old does that all the time. I'll give you one thing dealing with moms is hard, but ,as I said earlier, nobody forced you into this. It's not rocket science. Help isn't bad, but claiming other people's work as your own is wrong and also misleading to your customers as well. "There is no way that you have time to do both and be a big named designer" Oh really? Teresa Mallouky and the lady from Cinderella fashions must be magical. As far as I'm concerned they are the only people I know that make their own clothes AND they are big name designers.Seriously, if you want to be a designers that's fine, but at least make your own clothes.

She uses seamstresses too. She sews some things but not alot. Teresa is not the only employee of Lil Louky's Designs. Cinderella Fashions is not one employee, Rena does sew most of her garments but does have help from others that rhinestone and sew her skirts for her. Like I said, you can't do it all by yourself and be a big named designer. There are no big named designers that do not have help from someone. You have to look like this way, the name is the business and the business as a whole gets the credit not an individual person. You can be a low key designer that builds a decent clientel and does it all. Even low key designers are sometimes overwhelmed with work and ask others for help. Not having to deal with paypal and moms is trade enough for me to not get credit for work. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I don't care if you are the big thing out there, you still have to. I mean seriously if you can't even handle the work load, then don't get into the business or don't take as much work. I'm sure there are designers that are big and make their own work. The dishonestly of these people are disgusting,it's overwhelming. My grandmother made pageant attire. On average she would get 30 orders per month. She did it all herself the sewing, stoning, etc. I'm pretty sure if a 78 yr old can do this so can these thirty something yr olds.
