Clothes Design

Mel,

Would you be interested in financing a personal "project" of mine ?
Concerning clothes design, which will later lead to costume design as well.
It involves paying for material and thread for 12 dresses that I need to make.
- 4 house dresses
- 4 casual/weekend dresses
- 4 street/shopping dresses

Max cost of material - $15m x 30m =  $450
Max cost of thread -   $5 per spool x 12 = $60
Total cost - $510
This is probably an overestimate.
It's difficult to know exactly as it depends on
type of fabric / fabric design, that is chosen / available at the time.

I have already designed the pattern for the house dresses.
So, that is ready to go ahead.
But, all my cash is going into paying off the Dyslexia therapy,
so there is no leeway for this project at the moment.

What is your business model for encouraging new talent ?
Could you incorporate provision for this sort of thing within it ?
And how could I access it ?

But,this is more of a personal project which would only bring a personal return,
not a return for the community,
which is why I can't really approach any community based program,
(within private enterprise .. I really want to get out of looking to the government for
financial support)
so, would you be interested instead in financing this privately
with the view to encouraging new talent ?
