The Stitch

As many people know, we've been working on creating a new line of goodies for a brand new wholesale line of Renaissance garb, and we're in need of models for an upcoming photo shoot in the Rochester, NY area.

Payment will not be in cash, but instead you will receive free garb made to your measurements. Everything you wear for the photo shoot, you get to keep! These garments will all be made just for you, to your sizes.

We need somewhere between 2-4 models (both male AND female), in ALL shapes and sizes to pose for some pictures that will be used on our new site. These pictures will be made available to our vendors for them to use on their websites too, so please be aware that these pictures will be posted online and in catalogs in quite a few places. Be prepared to be recognized once the line of clothing hits the market.

If you're interested in applying, and can come to Rochester, NY for the photo shoot, please drop me a private email with a couple of pictures of yourself and a little information about your interests and availability for the shoot.

I'll select the models within a few weeks and will notify everyone.

If you're selected, I will need you to:

* Be 18 years or over

* fill out a measurement form and send it to me via email.

* Sign a photo release/contract form allowing me and the people who buy from us to use your picture in their catalogs and on their websites to sell the clothing you will be modeling.

* Travel to or live in the Rochester NY area for the photo shoot on the designated date. We prefer that people live in this area, because we won't be able to compensate anyone who travels so far that they need accommodations.

Note: I'm pregnant, and due in February, so the *exact* date of the photo shoot(s) is pretty up-in-the-air right now. We expect the full line of clothing to be patterned in November, with the samples to be constructed by December/January. However, I'm going to be pretty huge and uncomfortable by then, so I don't know if I'll be capable of doing the shoot during that timeframe.

If we can't do the shoot BEFORE I have the baby, we may have to postpone it until March/April. We're SUPER willing to work with everyone on their availability, and if it means we have to schedule several photo shoots, we'll be happy to do it. We're just going to be incredibly grateful for some fresh, smiling faces wearing our new designs!

The new line includes a few undergarments (chemises and bloomers), which would be done in a very professional, very "wholesome" way. No nudity or provocative poses will be required from anyone. The other garments are all bodices, skirts and dresses, and a small line of men's clothing.

I'm really looking forward to hearing from anyone who is interested!!
