I know there are hundreds of blogs about fashion, style and clothing – Tuesdays are my contribution. This Tuesday is dedicated to one of the most amazing bras I’ve ever purchased.As a petite, yet naturally busty girl, I have one heck of time finding bras that actually fit. Just because something is my size doesn’t mean it’s going to flatter me or support me. And as 30 app

MFG.com: The Fashion World Is Not Ready

It sounds like such a great idea, doesn't it? Sourcing made simple via the internet. A site that connects designers and manufacturers using spec sheets and a formal bidding process. No more phone calls, faxes, or sending samples just to get a bid.

But in practice, I just don't think we're ready for mfg.com. When I submitted spec sheets for Pixyworld's dresses & shorts last summer, the response I got was somewhat puzzling.

Of all the hundreds of suppliers (domestic and overseas) they had listed, th

Full Belted Skirts are Only for the Few

NMT1W42_mt.jpgHave you noticed the growing popularity of the belted full skirt?

I was on a discussion board (Body Type and Body Image) recently, where someone was asking whether this type of skirt would work for her body type. My question is, who does it work for??

NMT1TBB_mt.jpgOne thing is for sure: It is not a style for my children's clothing line. Toddler girls' w
