I
n a day when pretty, modest clothing is becoming hard to find, Lisa
Blenman decided to do something
about it by starting her own clothing
business. Donna Myre interviewed Lisa
about her endeavor with her business,
Jade Mackenzie Modest Apparel.
Donna: Why did you open a ladies’
clothing business?
Lisa: To own a clothing company
had been a dream of mine since I was
thirteen years old. As I grew older, it
became harder and harder to find modest clothing and proper skirt lengths.
So in 2009, I marketed my first clothing
items—1,200 jean skirts!
Donna: Did you have prior experience in the clothing industry?
Lisa: I worked in retail clothing
stores and while attending Texas Bible
College, I was the assistant manager at
a Casual Corner store.
Donna: How do you go about marketing your clothing line?
