This is the Teacup Dress from my latest collection! Let me know what you think.

This is an interview that Crain's Business filmed on Zoë Damacela Apparel!

Unique, Custom Made Clothing by Zoë Damacela

I wanted to post this to show that if you buy a custom made garment, you can literally have anything you want on it. In this example, the lettering is couched onto the garment. That means that those letters are actually string (or yarn or cording) that was stitched onto the fabric. Perhaps you've heard of the band Bright Eyes?

In this example, each fish is made out of burlap, the water is a sheer blue overlay, and the little air bubbles are these really cool blue buttons made from real sea shells. If you're interested in something like this, let me know.

This is me winning 1st place in the NFTE Citywide Business Plan Competition. I won $2,000 in seed capital to help my business grow. I made a business plan (of the business I already run!) and presented it in front of a panel of judges. Basically, I just explained what my business is, how I run it, all the financial stuff, and my plans for the future. So, I'm going on to nationals in NYC in October. I have the chance to win $10,000!!!!


Also, today I won 1st place in the Future Founders Business Camp competition. I won a $5,000 scholarship!

So, check me out in the Chicago tribune:

Intro

My name is Zoë Damacela. I'm 17 years old and I run a custom made clothing company. I've been running my business since I was 14. I mostly make formal dresses for women ages 18-35, but I have made everything from baby clothes to prom dresses. I've even made garments out of interesting materials like corn husks or paper bags... but I'll get into that a little more later on.

If you would like to get something custom made, feel free to contact me.
