Larissa Haisten
"Laramar 7 is the result of effort, time and money meeting knowledge, skill and experience."
Larissa Eakin Haisten of Atlanta, Ga. didn't know that she would ever be a clothing design entrepreneur but she did know at an early age that she wanted to work with clothing. While working as a fiber optic transmission equipment instructor, Larissa had an idea for a better bra. She was part of a mass layoff and that freed her to pursue her bra idea. Larissa taught herself patternmaking and sewing and applied [that knowledge] to her bra. From that bra came the entire Laramar 7 clothing line that expanded with tankinis, one pieces, bikini bottoms, shirts, shorts, skirts and pants and lined fitted jackets. Larissa combined her design, patternmaking and sewing skills with her knowledge of garment production and retail sales and has logged in 15 years experience in the apparel industry- 5 years in retail, 5 years in garment production and 5 years as a consultant and clothing design entreprenuer. Laramar 7 is the result of effort, time and money meeting knowledge, skill and experience.
Designer Facts:
If I could have a famous designer revamp my entire wardrobe I would choose Nanette Lepore. She makes beautiful, creative, whimsical feminine clothing that I adore.
Closet Chatter
I have to agree with the others Homeschoolmama. Go with the company you trust and know that you're going to get a quality dress. And if it's beautiful the color doesn't matter as long as you like it.
HSM- I was not able to see the dress using the link you provided but I agree with Daphne. You should not risk purchasing from a company that you are unsure of for such an important event.
Homeschoolmama I would go with a company I trust. You wouldn't want to risk having something go terribly wrong, especially if the quality is in question.
Can I ask you all a question?
I'm less than a year from our 20th anniversary, and we'll be renewing our vows. I thought I'd order a pretty gown in chocolate brown. But I've been hearing stories about the company & their inability to get a dress shipped in a timely manner, as well as some nightmares about quality that have made me second-guess ordering through them.
Then this morning, I found this dress. (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/romantic-storyline-dress)
I LOVE the lace & chiffon, LOVE the modest neckline, and LOVE the defined-but-not-cinched waistline. I love that it would "go" with absolutely everything else I have planned, and the shape would look great on me. I even love that it's through Modcloth since I know & love their clothing already, AND it's $40 cheaper than the brown dress.
BUT... it's ivory. And I wasn't gonna "go there" with ivory because I DON'T want it to look like a bridal gown! So my question is... if it were you, would you wear an ivory dress, or keep shopping for a brown dress through a company you could trust?!?
