Our Story

Ever since I was 8 years old, I've had a unique fashion sense: I insisted on wearing blue suede clogs during brutal Chicago winters. Little Cindy wanted to wear what she wanted, and that was that. I didn't care if I was cold. I was the ONLY one dressed that way and that's all that mattered.

Years later, I had my own daughters. And as genetics would dictate, they were just as picky as I was. They wanted a very special dress, unlike anything they had ever seen. And they had to be dressy enough to go to a ball! But they had to be comfortable enough to run around! And in case they got bored with one side, they had to be reversible. And they had to TWIRL!

Needless to say, this dress was not available in the department stores or even small boutiques. I'd have to make it myself. No problem. All I would need was months of sewing classes, many, many hours of practicing with Marilyn Chaney - Seamstress Extraordinaire, several dozen trips to the Los Angeles fashion district, and a couple of sewing machines.

But it all paid off. My girls loved their dresses so much, they wouldn't take them off. And because they were REVERSIBLE, they rarely had to. Two special dresses to twirl and play in! They really felt special wearing them. As special as a little girl wearing blue suede clogs in a snowstorm.

Pretty soon, other parents were asking where I got these dresses. TwirlyGirl was born! That was almost 4 years ago. Since then, TwirlyGirl has grown into a full line  with over 150 stores and we are still growing.  I hand pick the fabrics in the Los Angeles fashion district, selecting only those of the highest quality. And everything is made by hand in the City of Angels as well.

Every child on this planet is vibrant and extraordinary. I'm proud to create clothing that helps them feel that way. 

This is a picture of me all "grown up". 

OK, that was about just ME.  But this is OUR story.  I couldn't do all this by myself.  We work with some incredible people every day, from the sewers to the cutters and all the wonderful vendors we rely on to make our line.    

Let me introduce you to the TwirlyGirl internal team.  Heather - our Style Coordinator and Leslie - our Customer Specialist.  They are both graduates of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.   Their expertise is perfect for helping our stores and retail customers pick out what's right for them.  And we also have Ken, an expert in sales and president of 456, a company that focuses on helping companies grow.

It's great to work with people you can laugh with and just be yourself.  I'm so blessed I've found such wonderful people to share this journey with.
We all look forward to working with you and if you have any questions or comments, please let us know.  We LOVE feedback!
