Cindy, Monif, Laura & Sara in Monif C. Marilyn Convertible Dresses

I had way too much fun  meeting designer Monif Clarke as she promoted her line here in Canada.   Laura Caravaggio, the bubbly owner of Lola & Gigi put together a great trunk show to show off the latest Monif C. outfits heading to her store. Loved it all and several of us repeatedly hit the changerooms and came out showing off the latest pieces.

One of the most versatile outfits in her collection has to be the Marilyn Convertible Dress – something with so many possibilities that she created a video to demonstrate just how many looks one can get out of it!  She told me her main reason for designing it is to offer something every body type can wear and look great in.  It comes in a shorter and longer version, many colours,  and really, it suits everyone!

I ordered the “Angelina” trench – HOT. The secret to its great look?  It flares out at the bottom so when you belt it, your curves look great.  The real secret is that Monif is a smart curvy woman who knows what suits her body and therefore those of her customers. It helps that you wear and love what you create for others.
