PROM DRESS NETWORK BEGINS
It is a modest beginning, but, at last, you can go to PROM DRESS NETWORK., select your Prom Dress designer and call for a consultation. As a father of three daughters, I empathize with moms and daughters when it comes to finding the right Prom Dress.
As one designer pointed out a Prom Dress can (maybe) be found for a $100. A real bargain. However, by the time alterations are done the bargain has mutated into a $160 deal, or should I say, ordeal. Even then, what is the likelihood the buyer is satisfied with these important points: style, color, fit, fabric and price.
A Prom Dress Network allows moms and daughters the opportunity to consult with a local designer. Local in this sense is Round Rock / Austin area. The designer can take measurements as well as advise on fabric choices, which I understand some fabrics require a level of handling skill not anyone can perform. That is something you can clarify with a designer before you go and make a pricey fabric purchase.
Finally, this is an invitation to all skilled, designers interested in providing a valueable service for moms and daughters in their Prom Dress purchase. You do not pay any fees. The only money exchange is between designer and client.
Email me if you would like to be added to the Prom Dress Network at: GTorresCUE@gmail.com

Dell launches channel program
I wish Dell success with their channel program. However, it does bring to mind the short-lived white-box sales program a few years ago.
Like the white-box program, the channel program is top-hand heavy. Dell, or other computer vendors, could play the channel with both hands on the table with contractors and resellers with products and services. This would be in keeping with Dell's DNA as a direct model vendor, . . .with a slight helical twist. How?
Dell leverages its knowledge, experience and position with suppliers to become a supplier directly to an independent contractor and reseller network. This is a level playing field seeded and strengthened by relationships. Relationships, precisely what was missing years ago and what is essential in reaching the low-income, white-box consumer market in America.

WM Do you see yourself as a designer?
CM I've heard that term used so many different ways. I see myself primarily as one who works to create a dress or other apparel creation with the client's wishes in mind.
WM As a father of three daughters I remember hearing of their search with their friends for prom dresses. Are prom dresses a custom apparel need ICs can meet for high school girls?
CM Yes, I truly believe we can help the public, especially the young generation, on this issue.
WM What is the big need you see in apparel?
CM My sister in Laredo and I were talking just today. She's been in apparel many years too and we were talking about how there's so much apparel on the store racks out there that simply just does not fit. Recently, I was asked by a vendor to partner in a plus size apparel creation enterprise because this vendor has learned there are people whose apparel needs and wants are not going to be found in the apparel department of most stores.
WM Why do you think that is the case?
CM Quantity is more important than quality on the production floor. People are not taught the value of quality. Quantity means nothing if you have to do rework to improve your quality.
WM I've always thought you learn your process well, first, and the quantity, with quality, will follow. A manufacturer may sell quite a large amount before people catch on to their poor quality. An independent doesn't have that luxury. It's got to be quality from the beginning.
WM How many years have you been in apparel?
CM I've been in apparel over twenty years including manufacturing and custom apparel.
Some of the custom apparel I have made in the past have been costumes for kids and some adults. I went from the Power Rangers to Cinderella, Sylvester, Tweety Bird and others.
I have made some outfits for granddaughters, my husband, myself, and various customers.
WM Clearly, you have alot of experience in different aspects of apparel.
WM Have you ever worked with a group of independents?
CM I have never worked with a network or a group of independents. However, I like the idea of working with other individuals and the ideas they bring to an apparel creation. I want to see the group come together to express one idea of which we have all been a part.
