As a small business, funds are always limited and pretty often running low - you never know if the next month is going to be your best or your worst. In April we had our best month yet, June was our worst month since 2020. We haven’t had a month so bad in literally two years, and it couldn’t have come at a worst time really, as this month we were supposed to buy our Autumn fabrics, yet didn’t even make enough to cover our monthly costs.I think this rollercoaster is the most frustrating when picking fabrics for new collections, because we can never do everything we want and we are always put in a position to choose: should we buy more of a fabric to ensure continuity or do we buy less of each, so that we can offer a bigger variety of colours so that ideally we manage to make a shade for everybody?Buying a bigger quantity of one fabric can be great or really bad - great if the fabric sells well, then you may be able to get a bigger volume discount and have that fabric locked in at that price for a longer time. Prices for our fabrics have gone up 25% in the last 6 months, so everything we bought for the Spring/Summer collection has been more expensive to restock. Sometimes it happens that in 4-5 months the provider doesn’t even have the fabric you want to restock anymore due to supply chain issues. So buying a bigger amount of one fabric brings safety IF the fabric sell well - and that’s the opposite side of this coin, if you buy a lot and it doesn’t sell, you’re f**ked.Buying a small amount is risky due to price spikes, supply chain issues, yet it enables you to have a broader variety of colours and prints and also if one colour doesn’t sell so well, it’s not a tragedy.I never know which one is best, so I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Do you prefer a bigger variety of colours to choose from, or would rather have collections that are not necessarily seasonal, but are available for a long time? And if there’s an item you like, do you ever buy it in several colours? Or would rather have design variety more than colour variety?
The red voile is coming back! 🍒I’m so glad you love the red as much as we do, thank you for letting us know in these past few weeks. We’ve managed to restock it with a different provider with a smaller requested minimum quantity than 500 metres and it’s been in production for a bit now, set to be with us within the next two weeks. So if you’ve set your sights on the Ilinca, Veronica or any other of the items that were using the red voile, head onto the site and sign up on the product pages to be notified when they’re back in stock. There’s so many issues with continuity and the sourcing of fabrics in the past few months, fabrics that we were promised would always be available aren’t anymore due to chain of supply issues, so unfortunately we cannot guarantee that when this bath runs out we’ll be able to restock again. This applies to the cloud and the pastel pink voile as well, unfortunately, so if you’ve set your sights on them, please keep this in mind.I didn’t think continuity would be such a hard thing to maintain, but as a small brand that can’t afford to buy thousands of metres of fabrics at once, we’re really at the mercy of the whims of the fabric providers and things get really complicated at times.One fabric that I am sure we will not be able to restock is the periwinkle voile, of which we also do not have much more, around 70 metres, which means up to 12-15 items, so it will most likely sell out in the next month. We love the colour, but it hasn’t been selling well enough to justify a restock, so once it’s gone it will be gone for good.Really hope to see many of you rocking the red this summer ❤️
As most of you know, the names of our clothes are not random - all our items are named after women and non-binary and gender non conforming people who have lived bravely and authentically and left their mark on the world (or still do, some of them are still very much trailblazing!). We are too often told to shrink ourselves, whether physically or spiritually, to stay small, meek - you know, just shut up and be pretty. So from all standpoints, I want our clothes to encourage you to do the exact opposite: be loud and take up space unapologetically.Some of you may have noticed that within this collection, a few of the items carry the names of our team members. Garment workers are way too often made invisible in this industry, which enables their exploitation. But I want our team to always be at our forefront, so as to always remind people that clothing is made by humans, not machines. And doing everything I can to treat my team ethically, to enable them to live a good life is my greatest pride and my most treasured accomplishment.This dress is named after @veronica.tomos, who is the creator of all the beauty you see here. She started working with us in 2019 back when she would help me do everything, from drafting clothes, to scaling patterns to packing the orders. Short of sewing, we did everything else. We’ve grown a bit since then and now she can focus all her talent into its well deserved space which is design and artistic direction. I’m so grateful we were able to grow together because she is a quintessential part of Loud Bodies and her vision, much like her sass, is irreplaceable. And PS: she’s the one modelling in this photo as well 🤍
Last week we talked colours, now let’s do design! 🌸What kind of clothes would you like to see us create this Autumn? We’ve already got a plan and it’s going to be different than what we’ve done until now, but before letting the cat out of the bag, I would love to know more about your expectations. What’s your Autumn wardrobe missing and how could we fill the gap?
Let’s talk colours 🤍 What colours would you like to see us do this Autumn? 🍂
You know the drill, when things are chaotic behind the scenes, silence takes over.I keep telling myself I will not do this anymore, but it ends up happening anyway. Summer is always really tough on my mental health and it’s the time of the year when I feel the worst, so that makes it harder by default to stay productive, creative and think of interesting or valuable things to share over here. Toppled by being incredibly late with orders, problems with our team, the autumn collection already facing delays, this year is turning out to be our hardest yet.You know how I always say that short of the atelier catching fire, everything that could has gone wrong? Well, now I can’t even say that because the steaming/ironing station you can see in front of me in this photo short circuited a few weeks ago and caught fire. We’re all fine, it was contained and put out swiftly, but it was scary, overwhelming and set us back even further.It’s a bit disarming for things to be so hard after 4 years and to feel like I am failing at the same thing over and over again, but taking it one day at a tine and doing my best to find solutions and optimise our processing time to bring it back to it’s pre-pandemic 2-3 weeks. I know six weeks is a terribly long time to wait for an order and I can’t even blame that orders stopped coming through - it’s too much. So fingers crossed that by Autumn we’ll be in a different place. Please know that is my number one priority and we’re doing our best to ship everything out as fast as possible 🤍
✨ Spring/Summer 2022 is here ✨ Is this a deja-vu? Yes. And no. Since we launched the new collection two months ago, I receive emails or messages weekly from people saying they didn’t even know we released a new collection. Instagram’s algorithm is literally killing our business 🤦🏼‍♀️ So I thought it may do some good to post about this again and kindly ask you to please interact with this post - if a post gets comments, likes, saves in the first few minutes since it was posted, then it will be put in more people’s feeds - people who are actually following us, but never see our posts. It would mean the absolute world if you could help us spread the news and try to escape this app’s whims.So, here goes 🤍I feel like a protective mother, feeling the urge to wrap my arms around these pieces and hold tight, shield them from the world, as I love them so much and we worked so hard to give them life. But like any other child, there comes a day when they must face the world and today is the day for my babies. I think all small business owners can confirm that we dedicate ourselves to our work body and soul and it’s so hard to not take any sort of negative feedback like a personal failure. I put so much of who I am and who I wish to be in this brand that it’s entirely impossible to not take a misstep personally.I hope you’ll fall in love with this collection the way we did. Because at the epicentre of it lies self love, that’s what it expresses through every fibre and it’s here to encourage you to romanticise the hell out of yourself this summer. It’s dreamy, it’s flowy, it’s frilly and most importantly, it is LOUD. I feel like we went back to the roots of what LB is and means and pulled forth our yearning to create clothing that makes you bigger, in the best and most meaningful way possible. A reminder that you matter, that you deserve to be seen. Dresses fit for a magical being, because that’s what you are and you’ve spent way too much time trying to shrink yourself and hide your magic. F that. Main character energy is the only energy we want to see radiating off of you this summer.I really hope the feeling transcends ☁️ How do you like it?
I feel like this one deserves a non disappearing place in the feed, as I am taking it as a personal failure that I haven’t been able to be as active and involved and loud about where we stand on when it comes to the social issues I care about in the past few months. And it’s high time for a reminder that this is not a space where bigotry and hatred is tacitly accepted or ignored for money.First slide: A message received via the site contact form that says: I was going to order a few things until I saw the males modeling dresses..and not because of a moral reason..simply because it is ugly and does not look natural..and if you're going to use fat models there are pretty fat girls out there but you choose ones that look like beasts..sadSecond slide: A screen capture of my reply: Hello, Mandy!Thank you for your interest, but please, please do not ever order from us. I do not wish for our work that we put so much love into to be worn by hateful homophobic & fatphobic jerks such as yourself.Have the day you deserve, PatriciaThird slide: A pink background with the following text: And I kindly invite everyone who’s in agreement with Mandy to find the door and never look for us again. Loud Bodies is a space for love, a place where everybody’s existence is respected, so if you are unable to accept the fact that we all have the right to exist, no, to THRIVE, to be celebrated and loved and represented, then this is not a place for you.Fourth slide: A photo with me in our Sofia dress, big bow at the back and puffy sleeves in the dreamiest cloud print with the message: Also, as one of the fat beasts on the site, respectfully, fuck off.
🌈 During the month of June, 10% of all orders’ value will be donated to @queer_sisterhood_clujI was hesitant to announce our donation, because so many companies use #PrideMonth as a marketing crutch and pinkwashing as yet another way to push disposable products and encourage overconsumption and that is so far from our intention - but at the opposite of that spectrum is the thought that by not saying anything people would assume we are not celebrating Pride, which is also so, so far from who we are. Silence can be interpreted and I don’t want to leave room for interpretation.Because we’re not even just allies, me and my life partner are Queer and a significant part of our team is part of the community, so I want it to be made loud and clear that the only ones not welcome here are the ones who do not respect and cherish another human’s right to exist authentically - i.e. in case that is not clear and may leave any room for interpretation homophobes, bigots, racists, transphobes, fatphobes and the lists of phobes goes on.And at the end of the day, regardless of how it is perceived, the donation will do good to an organisation that does such important work in a country that absolutely, desperately needs it. Romania is 20 years behind when it comes to human rights and discriminations, so groups such as @queer_sisterhood_cluj need all the support they can get. And this doesn’t mean that you need to buy from us to support them, not at all, please get involved and support them and donate directly. This is just to let you know where we stand and that I am constantly doing what I can to support what we believe in.
This stunner of a dress is named after Maia, our veteran seamstress who is unfortunately leaving us this month as she is going to retire. She worked in the first atelier we tried to commission our production with before opening my own and I owe so much of being able to do that to her. I didn’t even know how to hold a scissors in my hand when I first started and I learned so much working alongside her. The knowledge she shared with me gave me the confidence to go on my own and was a catalyst that sent me on the path that Loud Bodies is on today. I was so happy when she finally joined us last year and will be so sad to let her go as she is an incredibly skilled and diligent craftsman and a person I will be forever grateful to have met.

And doing everything I can to treat my team ethically, to enable them to live a good life is my greatest pride and my most treasured accomplishment.This dress is named after Mihaela, who is part of our sewing team and she is such a wonderful part of our atelier – besides being an impeccable seamstress with such patience and attention to detail, she’s got a peaceful and calm presence that is so soothing to be around and since she joined us she taught me so much about what integrity and respect means in the workplace. I will forever be working to manifest the same values in return and make sure she feels equally as safe and respected as she’s made me feel.
Wishing everyone a quiet week 🌸
