04/02/2015 Being a seamstress and a mom, I’m always checking to make sure I
don’t waste time and money on low-quality clothing. That’s why I work to
create every single Olive Mae dress with love and make sure I produce
something that can stand the test of time.
Growing up, I learned everything I know about sewing from my great
grandmother, grandmother, mom and sisters. They taught me the importance
of taking my time when I sew to make sure I was making quality clothes
and not something that would just fall apart after a few wears. I love
creating outfits that I can really put my heart and soul into and it
makes me so happy to pass these dresses along to other little girls.
That’s why I knew when I started Olive Mae that I had to find people who
also shared my passion.
I’m so thankful I found seamstresses who are equally devoted to
quality and take pride in their work! I have such a skilled group of
women working at Olive Mae and I love seeing the amazing work they do.
Each and every one of them is so talented and they take the time to make
sure every Olive Mae dress is sewn with love and care.
When I started Olive Mae, it was also really important to me that
everything stayed local. I didn’t want to design dresses that would end
up on a production line somewhere. I wanted to keep everything in the
shop so I could really see each individual dress being made. Every Olive
Mae dress is handmade right here in Plano, Texas! I’m proud to keep
production local, especially when it means I can hire all local
seamstresses as well. It means so much more when a dress is handmade by
someone who takes the time to ensure it is absolutely perfect! You just
can’t get that same kind of quality and care from something that is
mass-produced in a factory warehouse somewhere.
On top of being handmade in the good ol’ U.S. of A., all Olive Mae
dresses are inspired by antique, vintage designs but made to a modern
quality and beautiful fit. These fabrics are unique, gorgeous designs
that will stand out in any little girl’s closet. It really is unlike
anything else you’ll find for your little girl. Not only do they look
beautiful, but these fabrics are durable and can stand up to many
washings, which I know is always a good thing in my house!
You might not be able to buy love, but you can buy handmade. And it’s
basically the same thing! I guarantee that every Olive Mae dress you
order will be a beautiful, high-quality, and a one-of-a-kind creation.
