Dress of the Day: April Marin will make your own
Filed under: Fashion, Best of the Season, Designers & Brands
We'll be honest with you all.We don't have a perfect body.
Rather, when we put on that size X dress, it doesn't always fit everywhere like a size X -- the bust is usually too big, the waist too small, and the hemline is always too long. But hey! the sleeves fit great!
Rather than punish our self-esteem over and over for our "imperfect" bodies, we can have dresses custom made to our measurements by AprilMarin. We love the '60s-inspired Capri Pencil dress style for which we choose one of seven colors (jackets also get the choice of nine different lining colors), then fill in our measurements. AprilMarin makes the dress that fits perfectly, and sends it to you.
The Capri Dress is $130, available from the AprilMarin website.

Of course none of us have the "perfect" body, but what about those of us that are not ashamed of our feminine physique and don't wanna cover up in another dress?
I'm tired of always having to wear dresses! I want pants that are stylish, comfortable, and FIT me!
I always thought that was too much to ask, until I walked past this shop during my trip to New York last week, "hem boutique". The shop was amazing! The designers were right there in the store and assisted me in finding the perfect fitting pants. I bought 3 pairs and have all my friends DYING to get their own!
For all of my independant confident females out there who are sick of dresses, jeans, and ill fitting trousers, I direct you to www.hemboutique.com
It'll change your fashion life forever!

What's the price range of the pants at "hem boutique"?

The pants are priced in the $2-300 range. The designers say that they purposely style the pants to be relatively seasonless so you can get maximum wear out of them year round.
My friend in New York emailed me this link, which shows an ABC news story about the designers and the buzz they're creating!
