Mamamia is supporting women who are running their own race with #ladystartup . Meet the faces behind the businesses we’re celebrating…
For, Rachel Burke, it all started with her blog ‘i make. you wear it.‘ She used this platform to create dresses for her friends, and sold them to raise money for charity.
After doing this for some time, she launched her own label that eventually led to working as a commercial designer for a boutique, and later, a national retailer.
While she loved working for someone else, Rachel learnt so much in the process and has always found that nothing compares to the satisfaction she gets from hand-making her own work and calling the shots.
Read her interview with Mamamia.
What is i make. you wear it.?
It’s a blog. But a little bit more too.
Right now, my business revolves around making custom tinsel jackets for people, hosting craft workshops around the country, writing books (just finishing off my second one with Hardie Grant) and freelance blogging and styling.

Wow great designs, i really loved everyone of them. The prices seems ok from here and i can tell my final thoughts on it when i examine the material my self. I loved your blog and add it to my favorite websites list. You will definitely make me wear it lol. The design of your website is very good but it need some improvement. Like when i open the website it took some seconds to open which is not good when it comes to seo. Your website should be lighter and faster so that the audience will not bounce back to search engine when they visit your website. You should get some help from a professional to resolve this issue like i did when i created my blog about lifestyle. i am a good web designer myself but it is good to have another professional opinion when you start such project. I got a lot of help on affiliate cms website design from revgluedotcom/bespoke when i was at it. Any how add some good content to get good loyal audience for your website. I hope you will add more beautiful cloths on your website. Best of luck.
