Hello,
I hope you are all doing well. I just wanted to let you all know what is going on with the group fashion. First of all I want to make sure that you all know (despite the fact that the first reactions were almost unanimously in favor of the polka dot outfit) we will have production samples on BOTH fashions. That way the group can vote and make their decision based on exactly what the production fashions will look like. We have two different facilites (keep in mind that we are not using factories, rather we are using individuals who are skilled in high end clothing production), both of which are making samples so we can use the best of the two. Please keep in mind that this is going to take time. Everybody involved knows that quality is the priority NOT time.
Some more info (most of you probably already know this): each member will have the opportunity to purchase only 1 fashion. Somebody had asked about getting two so that they could open one and keep the other NRFB. My packaging is such that you need not worry about deboxing. I use a clear top box and the fashion is attached to a peice of foam core using straight pins. That way you don't have to worry about removing thread and damaging the fashion. The fashions can easily be placed back in the boxes with pins. I want them to be opened, you have to have the clothing in hand and put it on your doll to see the quality.
In the meantime if any of you would like to see pics of more of my fashions you can do so (if you have a YahooID) by going to: <A HREF="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/randallcraig/"> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/randallcraig/</A> then clicking photos.
Thanks so much and take care!
Sincerely, Randall Craig www.choic.com
