Hi Darlings!!!!
I am back and exhausted, lol! what an amazing time I had in Atlanta. First let me say that the people of ATL were exceptional. Adrienne and I were sad to leave but will be back soon. I want to thank you for your patience in allowing me that little blogging break during my trip, but now that I am back to the grind I want to share pics and a video from the Meet and Greet.
I MUST give a special thanks to The B Firm for doing such an incredible job putting the meet and greet together for me, I literally just had to show up. If you are in need of great event planning, PR and more please pay them a visit. I also want to thank Piece of Cake for allowing us to take over their store on Collier and keeping it loud and busy for over 2hrs. AND.... the cake is OMG yummy delicious (the Caramel Cake was my favorite) You can check them out HERE.
I was also so humbled when through a sea of women I see a man dressed in his military fatigues head to toe (army I believe) he came to the meet and greet to see me and then took a patch off of his uniform and gave it to me. It was so touching and I will cherish it always. He said "I don't sew but I love seeing your pictures in my timeline" Thank you so much for coming and for my gift that you have worked hard for and of course for your service to this country. I also had Mr. Well Dressed in attendance with his fly self, lol! Thanks for coming!
Okay here is a lovely video that @camermanatltv put together for me and some pics.
Here are pics of my Temperley London inspired dress I wore to the meet and greet. I used my T-shirt pattern and just traced out the shape I wanted. You can use the T-Shirt Maxi Tutorial to achieve a similar look with some modifications. My fab pumps are from Zara! They are just wonderful.
GEORGOUS MIMI!!

ReplyDeleteLove it!!!! Thanks for posting pics!
ReplyDeleteKilla dress, killa look! I may just knock off your knockoff. :)
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is EVERYTHING. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful darling...... U look hotttt
ReplyDeleteIt was truly awesome to meet you, and such a joy to hear your story! I literally almost cried when you talked about your mom wearing the dress you made for her, despite it not coming out well! You've come a long way, and now everything you make is impeccable! I know to reach your level, us beginners must put in the work to self teach and practice as you did BUT, do you have any "cliffs notes" for getting a better fit with store bought patterns? For example, properly combining sizes if you have to use a smaller top and larger bottom? Your tip to use the finished garment measurements helped me immensely! I had almost given up on store patterns until I read that. My garments come out so much better because of that! You give us so much, I hate to ask for more so, THANK YOU SO MUCH either way!
ReplyDeleteAdorable as always! Those shoes are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteGirl this dress right here......DOPENESS! Glad the event was a success. I'm loving it. Keep doing your thing babe!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow can I order that dress? You are weak it! The shoes I need too! # beautifulgal
ReplyDeleteOh LORD!! that is supposed to say you are WEARING it! I hate auto-correct on the phone! lol
DeleteMimi you looked so beautiful at your event. So talented!
ReplyDeleteMimi, thank you for sharing the photos from your Atlanta event. Your dress is sexy...yet classy. You look amazing in everything! I hope you visit Washington DC one day. I'll be there. Keep doing what you do!!
