The idea for è Ispirante began when I was hired to make a corset for a woman who had polio as a child and must wear a corset every day. When I saw the corset she wanted me to copy, my first reaction was how unattractive it was. I thought that if this is something that she has to wear every day, why not make it look nice as well as be functional. After perfecting the fit, I then added lace, that was securely stitched down to avoid catching on anything, and trimmed the edges and covered the boning tape with a floral print. The Client was very happy with it and we proceeded to make a second one in various batik fabrics. You can see these corsets here on my website. Click on "About" and choose "Corsets" in the drop-down.
I then looked at adaptive clothing available and wanted to give people more exciting and fashionable options.
At the same time, I began making skirts for my friend's daughter who has CP. Both her and her daughter loved the skirts as they were easy to take on an off using my design features, and were made with fun fabrics as well as sparkly! I then decided to start creating fun and attractive Adaptive clothing for girls. è Ispirante was born! I want to expand the clothing line to other clothing items as well as design Adaptive clothing for women. In the future, my designs will include boys and men.
My friend's daughter is Sara Ann, who is an amazing painter! I have chosen some of her paintings and had them printed on T-shirts to sell along with the skirts. Sara Ann will receive a percentage of the profits from the sale of the T-shirts.
I have designed, and had skirts made for young girls in wheelchairs. My first showing of the skirt line was at the Abilities Expo in LA, February 23, 24, & 25 at the LA Convention Center. It was a great show and I met many amazing people and made many wonderful contacts! All Skirts and T-shirts have been added to the STORE here on this website and are ready to order! I also then had a booth at the NY Metro Abilities Expo in Edison, NJ. Sales at this Expo increased signigicantly over the LA Expo! It is nice to see the business building!
After this initial set-up, my website will be re-done and re-branded to make your viewing and ordering pleasure much easier and more exciting!
Thank you for looking!
