The sheer volume of Princess products insures that even the most oblivious parent will have heard of them.And, as with any big money-maker, the Princess movement has many enemies.

A Hybrid Model for Garment Production
The traditional model seems so wasteful: make $20,000 worth of samples which you will distribute to your showrooms, ALL of which cost 3X the standard garment production cost, FEW to NONE of which will ever be sold to recoup any of the money.
In launching Pixyworld, we just couldn't do it. Why not do a real production run right off the bat, with reasonable production costs, and sell direct to the retail customer, at a reasonable retail… Continue

Dressed 2009: Pixyworld on the Runway
I'm really not an "event" person. So it was out of my comfort zone to organize 12 mini-models, with male relatives as their escorts, for the fashion show in our area last weekend.But I have to admit it was kind of fun, when it actually happened.

Wholesale for a "Continuous" Line
When Pixyworld hired our first sales rep at Lace and Denim, Terrie asked me whether our line was "seasonal" or "continuous." It was a surprise (and a comfort) to me that a showroom would have a name for what we do. Rather than making $20,000 worth of samples a season ahead, then taking orders, and then manufacturing the product, we just make each collection once. We sell what we have, both retail and… Continue

ALWAYS Get Counter-Samples
My overseas production manager has proved herself responsible. After sending her a physical sample, graded patterns, and finished product measurements for my new Pixyworld collection, and after being hit with high FedEx bills in the past, I figured it would be unnecessary to have her send me finished counter-samples. Photos would be fine.But she was concerned enough to do it anyway, at her own expense. And, sure enough, we had narrowly… Continue
