I found a new Petite Fashion Designer!! Introducing TLE Designs!
You’re going to love these fun dresses and separates.
I will interview her in the next month, but I didn’t want to keep
her a secret until then.
So, here’s her story on her designs came to life:
For as long as I can remember,
I’ve signed my name as TLE (“T-Lay”),
and I’ve always written it in all caps to make
a statement that’s as bold as me. I decided
to name my company after my signature
(and nickname) and to make a statement to
the world that-even though you’re petite,
your presence can make you 10 feet tall.
It’s true…Big things do come in small packages!
At 4’11″, I know how extremely frustrating
it is to find great-looking cosmopolitan
styles that fit. I never shopped in petite
departments since those clothes always looked
middle-aged, and of course, children’s
departments would look too adolescent.
Fashion should be fun, modern, and most importantly fitting!
So what was a modern chick to do? I started designing clothes
that were glam on style and complimented the
petite woman.
For an upcoming trip, I concentrated my efforts on making hip clothes
that complimented my petite size. It wasn’t until I was getting loads
of compliments and requests from friends and strangers that I realized
I had an untapped talent for designing clothes.
And thus, in the summer of 2007 TLE DESIGNS was founded for
the petite, carefree fashionista who lives life large.
