FF: Describe the general process you go<br />

through to select a piece of clothing? 
<br />

NS: When I select a piece of clothing,<br />

especially a gown, I do not have to look at<br />

it for a long time. I know within seconds if it’s<br />

something I can work with, or something that<br />

will be a heavenly creation with the help from<br />

my amazing seamstress, Irene Jameson. 
<br />

When purchasing or designing for my stores,<br />

I tend to pick things that really jump out at me.<br />

I like things that will allow my clients to have a<br />

unique style. I love very rich and airy fabrics<br />

for the flowy-type dresses and gowns, but<br />

I also love gorgeous colorful stones, which<br />

can add detail to bodice styles.<br />

I love my gowns to have depth and a clean<br />

look inside and outside. The dresses I<br />

love to pick out the most are those for my<br />

pageant girls. I want them to look amazing<br />

while feeling great. Again, I must stress<br />

the great work my seamstress, Irene, does<br />

by making the gowns like second skin for<br />

these girls. She has a very rich eye and is<br />

my partner in another one of my stores.<br />

FF: From your experience, what do you<br />

believe makes a quality gown?

NS: A quality gown is first and foremost<br />

beautiful. It has rich fabric, impeccable<br />

design, great fit, clear clean stones,<br />

and a great line that follows the body where<br />

it should.<br />
