She got the "bug" in high school, where she began sewing for herself, friends, and school plays. From that point on, sewing grew from hobby... to passion... to profession!

Nowadays, her main focus is on running the dressmaker referral site www.findadressmaker.com, which brings business to custom dressmakers, costumers, tailors, seamstresses, and alteration specialists in the US and beyond. She also writes, teaches, and continues to make dresses and garments for special clients. Most projects require from four to six weeks to complete, and a 50% deposit before the work begins. Mimi will work on a project long-distance, when given complete instructions and accurate measurements and/or dimensions.

Her clients are mainly creative, expressive people, or folks with very unique requirements, not satisfied by store-bought items.

Among her recent customers are professional performers, people with disabilities, and designers in need of prototypes. If requested, confidentiality agreements assure her clients that their designs will never be duplicated, or shared without permission.


Note: There are custom clothiers who specialize in many different areas -- millinery, tailoring, leatherwork, people who make historically accurate reenactor garb, pageant gowns, skating costumes, Irish dancing, etc.
So, if you are looking for a specialist in a particular area, Mimi will work with, or refer you to a member of her reliable network of experts to achieve your desired result.
