Customer Appreciation Photo Shoot
So one day I was sitting around thinking about the Monif C. customer and was so happy to realize that in the 5 years we've been in business, we've sent clothes to women young and old, overseas and in the US, all occupations and lifestyles, and I wanted to show all of you that YOU are Monif C. woman just like these women.
So I came up with a simple concept...7 of our BEST customers, all different ages, sizes, and experiences to show how they make the convertible dress work for them.
You will look at these BEFORE and AFTERS and think these are camera tricks, 4 pairs of Spanx on each woman, or photoshop, but believe me when I tell you, it was simple, the women in all their fabulousness, the AMAZING "Marilyn" Convertible Dress, simple makeup, a "juge" of their hair, our awesome photog Krista, music, and it was lights, camera, action!
You too can be TRANSFORMED through this convertible dress when you make it your own!
I am Monif C., You are Monif C.

OK… THIS IS GOING TO SOUND REALLY CORNY… BUT WHEN I SAW YOUR NEW SPRING LINE I STARTED TO TEAR UP. WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THE SWIMSUITS!! I TOLD MY FRIEND I MIGHT BUY ALL 7 OF THEM AND WEAR A DIFFERENT ONE TO WORK/SCHOOL EACH DAY OF THE WEEK ((AND DARE SOMEONE TO SAY SOMETHING!!)). I RECEIVED A MARILYN DRESS AS A GIFT AND I THINK I WORE IT TWO DAYS IN A ROW I LOVED IT SO MUCH! GIRL YOU ARE A GENIUS WHO TRULY UNDERSTANDS THE ANATOMY OF THE FULL FIGURED WOMAN!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE PART IN YOUR PHOTO SHOOT. I AM A 22 YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT(Public Relations major).I AM ALSO AN ASPIRING FULL FIGURED MODEL AND WOULD KILL TO BE A MONIFC DIVA. I AM 6’0” AND A SIZE 16 ( size 14 on a good day). PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO BE A PART OF IT.

Kudos, Monif!!!!!

These women look amazing before…but even more spectacular after. I would love to participate in the next shoot. I have not purchased anything else yet besides bathing suits…and they are the best I ever had! I went to the bahamas last September, and I got compliments everyday on my swimwear. I enjoyed promoting a company that I genuinely believe in. Monif is the best…and the clothing enhance the beauty of any woman.
Monif | Feb 27, 2010 @ 8:39 AM
@Indya, your message is so sweet! I’m glad you love the line, do you have pic of you in the convertible dress? Would love to see!
You too @Felicia, do you have pics also?
@Crystal, thanks so much honey! I want to see pics of you too!
Felicia | Feb 27, 2010 @ 1:27 PM
I have plenty of pictures from my vacation. I will e-mail them to you, and you can post them on your site if you would like. I’m just waiting to add the new additions to my collection now..so I can be even more fierce on my next trip.

First I want to say I’m so happy (Happy truly isn’t the word) about to new swim line. I remember when I came last summer looking for new swim wear and was tad upset when you told me it was a no go but it was well worth the wait ... just in time for vacay (Luv It) secondly I want to be transformed too, can I get some love lol ?

WOW everyone looks so beautiful!!! I am getting ready to be a part of a small fashion show where I am helping my mom’s friend to help promote one of the plus size clothing stores (LB). I have always been into fashion since I was like 12. I was even voted BEST DRESS at my high school. I beat out the skinny girls in school….HA HA HA!! Everyone has always complemented on how I dress and look everyday through out life. I think a problem is that I’m 5’5” and I know that in the plus size world you have to be at least 5’9 or something like that. That’ makes me sad. =( I really want to try this dress out to see how it looks on me, because the model shown is 6’0”.

I Love the designs i must admit however, i cant help but to notice that the clothing is really expensive. I am a plus size teen and i just find it horrible that in order for bigger woman to look our best we have to go bankrupt I want to see a line of clothing that is expensive and tasteful at the same time.
