Pricing"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"With the release of my line \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.twentyfour20.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ETwentyFour20\u003C\/a\u003E, some of you have asked me questions about prices and why the items are not at a lower price point.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo I wanted to take a moment to give you guys some background on how prices for our items are determined. There are many other companies who have their own prices, some higher, some lower, but I am not them and therefore can only speak for myself and my own business. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere are several factors that go into determining price, but these are some of the main reasons:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E1. All items are made and manufactured in the USA.\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt was very important to me to collaborate with an American-owned business where I know that workers are paid fair wages and work in great conditions. I am absolutely thrilled with the team I'm working with and as an American myself, proud to work with another small business in my home country.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI  am not passing any judgment on any company that outsources to factories  in China, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka. Believe me, I purchase lots of clothing that is  made overseas and there are TONS of excellent factories around the  world. But the stories of workers being mistreated in some factories in third-world countries  are well documented.\u0026nbsp; It very was important to me to make the choice  to support the garment district here in New York City in my home  country.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAmerican company = American jobs.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E2. Fabrication\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe fabrics used in the dresses are the best quality I can find. I literally spent months looking for the perfect fabrics and I use organic cotton and bamboo jersey whenever possible. They are strong fabrics that won't be sheer when you put them on and they are extremely soft and comfortable to the touch. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E3. I am a small business owner producing a limited edition product.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat means that the dress you are owning is one that was only produced in small quantities and there are not 500,000 copies of it floating around. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with mass production, do not misunderstand me, but this collection is not it. The fact that it's limited orders means that it's a little more expensive, but it's also an original.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI understand hard times and that finances are tough for all of us. BELIEVE me, having invested my own money into this, without someone else financing it, I really do. But considering the work that goes into the dresses and the materials used, producing an item that is under $200 is quite reasonable to me.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI released my collection because I really believe in fabulous fashion for all women. Prices are not based upon some kind of great scheme to cheat the plus size woman out of fair prices. I have worked in this industry for a very long time and have dedicated much of my professional life for the last few years to uplifting women and sharing my knowledge and aesthetic here on my blog. To take prices personally, with all due respect, is silly. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs a fashion blogger, I am happy to recommend some stores that are in a lower price point. I could name a dozen for you off the top of my head. This is a community that we are in together, so sharing where I shop is of no concern to me. But I stand by the quality of my product and the prices as well.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIf you have any questions, feel free to email me at info@twentyfour20.com\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.insidealliesworld.com\/feeds\/7188530294957945158\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=5299417788764286866\u0026postID=7188530294957945158\u0026isPopup=true","title":"3 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5299417788764286866\/posts\/default\/7188530294957945158"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5299417788764286866\/posts\/default\/7188530294957945158"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.insidealliesworld.com\/2013\/11\/a-note-on-twentyfour20-pricing.html","title":"A Note on TwentyFour20 Pricing"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Allison McGevna"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/17357837543191624834"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"31","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-VlaKY1gRPgQ\/U0BYT1C-b3I\/AAAAAAAADZI\/-sSPbibTeZA\/s220\/Screen%2Bshot%2B2014-04-05%2Bat%2B3.22.20%2BPM.png"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"3"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299417788764286866.post-2967729773323854162"},"published":{"$t":"2013-10-22T07:00:00.000-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2014-04-13T16:37:49.285-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"eva mendes"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"fashion shows"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"new york and company"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"ny\u0026co"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"plus size events"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"plus size fashion"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"posh lafw"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"reah norman"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"red carpets"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Steve Madden"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"twentyfour20"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Posh LA Fashion Week 2013 Recap"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/i16.photobucket.com\/albums\/b17\/thegovna1\/a30173bf-299e-46da-a3e4-83271095314d_zps792db749.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i16.photobucket.com\/albums\/b17\/thegovna1\/a30173bf-299e-46da-a3e4-83271095314d_zps792db749.jpg\" height=\"546\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI just came back from the most whirlwind weekend ever.

This year has been an especially fabulous year in terms of cover models. Models whose career I admire -- Robyn Lawley, Lauren Shaw, Sophie Shepp to name a few -- have been the previous covers in 2013, and so it was a major honor for me. Furthermore, the September issue of any fashion magazine is generally the year's biggest and most important issue. When I got the call that I was being hired to be on the cover, I was excited, honored, nervous, happy, thrilled -- so many emotions I can't even express.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-4lrfZUaP2V4\/UiODLRjWc4I\/AAAAAAAAC60\/02OEaIqarGk\/s1600\/Screen+shot+2013-09-01+at+12.24.05+PM.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"430\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-4lrfZUaP2V4\/UiODLRjWc4I\/AAAAAAAAC60\/02OEaIqarGk\/s640\/Screen+shot+2013-09-01+at+12.24.05+PM.png\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/www.plusmodelmag.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EClick here to read the full issue \u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI have come so far. Further than many thought I would. Further than even the voice in my own head told me I would go. Working with some of my favorite retailers and designers regularly, modeling full time, traveling. It's all something I wanted and it's something I have literally busted my big booty for! \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI know so many of you who read my blog or follow me want to be models, so I want to be perfectly honest here. I generally keep many of my thoughts to myself as you sadly cannot trust very many people in such a competitive industry and it's best  to keep so much of the struggle under wraps in the name of  professionalism. But I do want to share a little bit for the girl who is  reading this trying to break into the industry.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere are so many detractors in this business. Outsiders see the glitz and the glam, but there are many days where there is little to look forward to but frustration, criticism, tears, rejection and hurt. For models who don't necessarily fit the typical mold (shout out to my fellow #teamunderdog peeps), there is so much that you have to fight through and overcome. It's hard and it's hurtful and there are so many days when I feel exhausted by it. Anyone who tells you they don't internalize some of that is full of CRAP. You do. Even if you have a tough skin.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut days like today make all of those struggles worth it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EUnlike some models\/bloggers out there, I did not get into this business to become famous or have people tell me I'm pretty. I honestly could not give a shit about that (excuse my French).\u0026nbsp; My sense of self comes from within -- from my faith and my purpose (and a little help from my handsome fiance who loves me for me.)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut aside from the fact that I simply LOVE fashion, what I care about is having young girls who look like me have someone that they could look to and say, if SHE did it, I can do it. If she can not only ACCEPT herself but LOVE herself and make no apologies, then maybe I should feel that way about myself too.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI am not perfect and I am 100 percent not yet the woman I want to be, physically, professionally or spiritually. HARDLY. But I think the fact that I am not perfect and that I am not necessarily the typical \"model type\" is exactly what makes this moment so special and so important.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI am you. A work in progress, but no less deserving or beautiful than those people society deems good enough to be worthy of high fashion and beautiful things.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThank you to all of you for supporting my career thus far. You believe in me on days it's hard to believe in myself. And I, in turn, believe in you and will fight for you every day in everything I do. Not in a pretentious \"I'm saving the world\" or \"I'm changing lives\" kind of way. No, in a way that a friend, an equal and just a regular girl who loves fashion and celebrating women and beauty does -- As your sister in the struggle. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EYou are worthy. You are beautiful. Where you are in your health journey has NO bearing on your access to fashion TODAY, right now in this exact moment. You are sexy and fabulous and a woman, friend, mom, daughter, wife, girlfriend, professional and a myriad of other things and you \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/www.plusmodelmag.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDESERVE fashion that covers those needs.\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEnjoy your holiday weekend!!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWith love,\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAllie"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.insidealliesworld.com\/feeds\/3407059094153502590\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=5299417788764286866\u0026postID=3407059094153502590\u0026isPopup=true","title":"7 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5299417788764286866\/posts\/default\/3407059094153502590"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5299417788764286866\/posts\/default\/3407059094153502590"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.insidealliesworld.com\/2013\/09\/plus-model-magazines-september-issue.html","title":"Plus Model Magazine's September Issue"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Allison McGevna"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/17357837543191624834"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"31","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-VlaKY1gRPgQ\/U0BYT1C-b3I\/AAAAAAAADZI\/-sSPbibTeZA\/s220\/Screen%2Bshot%2B2014-04-05%2Bat%2B3.22.20%2BPM.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-f2k5ql5GL-Q\/UiNovr_mVbI\/AAAAAAAAC6k\/9m4eU_73wXE\/s72-c\/1235997_10151586903627441_477846271_n.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"7"}}]}});
