Even More NEW FALL Styles Added to MakingitBig.com
Now that our second Fall Catalog has begun showing up in homes around the world, we thought we'd share the unique new styles that we just added to our already extensive Fall 2009 Collection!
The Mosaics Blouse: This breathtaking collage of hand-batiked blues, purples and black features an exquisite design that starts with a flattering asymmetrical hemline, moves to button detail in the back, and finishes with a flourishing V-neck mandarin collar, angled pocket and 3/4 sleeves trimmed in black. Fashioned using 100% Rayon.
The Sonata Jacket: Whether you're in the office or out on the town, this jacket adds flair to your ensemble. Marbled blue-gray batik, black geometric shapes and batik rice print trim highlight long sleeves, a frog-button closure and 7" side slits. 100% Rayon.
The Sonata Top: Simplicity can be deceiving. A hand-batiked blue-gray rice print over a field of black gives this V-neck shell with bracelet length sleeves more than a touch of class. Coordinates perfectly with the Sonata Jacket, above, and our Venus Pants. Made of 100% Rayon.
The Graffiti Zip Jacket: Create a splash all year long thanks to the red graffiti print collar and cuff trim that adorns our new cotton knit jacket. With a zip front and front pouch pockets, you'll stay toasty on cool autumn days. 100% cotton.

Live Life Beautifully. Live Life with Style!
Welcome to our new MiB Community Blog!
Even though the leaves haven't begun to put on their beautiful Fall colors of russet and gold...it's Fall at MiB!
We've just introduced our new Fall 2009 Collection and it's available on our website now.
Our Plus Size model, Tesia, shown on the left, is wearing our new Arabella Top in one of our new Fall colors, "camel".
We've created a luscious Fall color palette this year...camel, rust, eggplant, deep teal, muted dusty rose and dusty blue, rich burgundy, warm brown, true red, peacock blue and soft thistle.
Many of our fashions mix and match perfectly and can also be added in to your existing MiB Collections, the Venus Collection and Divine Collection, for example.
This season we've added many new cozy Fall sweaters, jackets and coats as well as some beautiful scarves and jaunty hats to complete your new look for Fall.
One of our most popular categories is our special, super comfortable and durable MiB Undies and Lingerie. These are truly comfortable and our MiB customers continue to rave about them, season after season!
We invite you to stop by our Retail Showroom in Cotati, California, Monday through Friday, or shop conveniently from the comfort of your own home via our website or mail order catalog.
