What's a Fit Model?

I put an ad craigslist to find a new fit model, and luckily it worked! The first time I tried it some years ago, I got one reply - And she wasn't even close to the right size. It's unfortunate, but the economy probably has something to do with my success. All kinds of women, and even men, applied for the job. Some were desperate for work, others were looking for the kind of fame that people associate with modeling, some just wanted an easy dollar and figured it would be quick and painless. Some who applied had experience, but most did not. Some were older, most were younger. Most were too thin, and all were pretty. Being a fit model isn't that glamorous. It's simply a person that has the measurements and body type that I want my clothing to fit. Many said that they were exactly the measurements I wanted. I set appointments and measured a steady stream all week long, and into the next. At the end, there were three that came within a 1/2". One had the right body type. Wow, that was scraping by!

A New Name

Hi,

Elise Rodemack writing here. I guess I've become a bit of a spokeswoman. :) Laura has decided to change her name to SEW CHIC PATTERNS. This change has come about in the past few weeks, when discussions were made about the name Nostalgic Patterns. Laura has had the name Nostalgic for her pattern company for the past year and it has not been as successful as she hoped. So, since that name didn't catch people's attention, she's decided to move in a new direction. She has big hopes for the future and hopes you'll like the new name and theme she's chosen. She wants to thank you all for your support of her and her business and hopes you'll stay on board. Let's see what she'll come up with next!
