A fashionista in the true sense of the
word, Terese entered fashion�s busi-
ness realm when she started her custom
clothing business, operating it out of her
custom-built home studio. �Even after
my daughters were born, I never stopped
working. During the summer, I would
work four or ve hours a day, and then
spend time with my daughters. During
the school year, I worked every moment
they were away. My original apparel
business evolved into my own made-
to-order line, which I designed and we
had produced in Chicago,� says Terese.
�Everything was word-of-mouth. I had
many clients, and was always booked
with projects up to a year in advance. If
a client needed something for an event,
I�d discuss their needs with them and
sketch up a design based on their per-
sonality and the event.�
Terese specialized in designing and cre-
ating clothing for professional women
