Our story goes a little something like this:

In July of 2008 my mother, Lil, was telling me how she had just made a dress for Lizzie (my niece, her granddaughter) that was held together by hook and loop. The reason she made the dress was because Lizzie was going through a phase where she liked to reenact the part in Cinderella where the evil step-sisters pull apart Cinderella's dress right before she goes to the ball. To stop her from tearing apart her entire wardrobe, Lizzie's mom, Julie, asked Lil (who is a genius with a sewing machine) to make Lizzie a dress that she could rip apart and put back together herself. The dress was such a hit that Lizzie wore her dress everywhere. Other little girls would see Lizzie and wanted their own dress that would allow them to take it apart and put it back together. 

That is when my Mom and I came up with the idea of Lizzy Wear, a unique line of dresses that would allow little girls to change up the accessories of their dress (sleeves, beads, sashes, etc.) to make their dress their very own.  

The look of Lizzy Wear is "boutique meets dress-up clothes." Little girls love to play dress up, and Moms love the look of those chic boutique dresses. Lizzy Wear dresses are reversible (2 dresses for the price of one = value) and can be worn countless ways - how ever your little fashionista sees fit (for the moment) and when she wants to change it up - she can do so!

As said before, our idea for this business was inspired by Lizzie. Lizzie is a beautiful little girl who lights up a room when she smiles. When Lizzie was 2 years old, she was diagnosed with Autism. Thanks to countless prayers along with her loving and dedicated parents, Lizzie has made great progress and is now making friends and enjoying the first grade. To learn more about Lizzie, her progress and therapies her parents have found beneficial, check out her blog: http://lizziehornok.blogspot.com.  A portion of every Lizzy Wear sale will be donated to a non-profit organization that benefits children with Autism.

All the best,

Jennifer
