Tuesday 18 February 2025: Jaire and Mia discuss the new range of options created for Mimiquin customers.

More dressform options are now available from Mimiquins. Jaire and Mia have created – now get this – legs and arms options for their dressforms.

On their website, you’ll see the people who have now received their Mimiquins and why they chose their dressform for their sewing needs. Luke, the winner of the Great British Sewing Bee 2024 had his dressform created for his drag queen persona.

In 2024 we heard Yvonne of The Wheelie Stitcher talk about her dressform for her seated makes.

Many thanks to Tanya https://www.instagram.com/i_still_have_nothing_to_wear/ for her permission to use the photos of her mimiquin purchase.

There’s nothing Jaire and Mia won’t try to create for their customers.

The core of their dressform consists of sustainable cardboard.

Tuesday 12 March 2024: Mia and Jaire are the creators of Mimiquins.

In January we heard from Yvonne – The Wheelie Stitcher tell us about her experience in finding Mimiquins to create her seated dress form.

Today we’ll hear from Jaire and Mia, the team who created mimiquins. Mimiquins is based in the UK. While they’re based in the UK Jaire and Mia are making Mimiquins available to people who live outside of the UK.

Mia’s background is in biochemistry and she has always sewn her end of year ballgowns, during her university years.

Jaire describes her background as boring ‘business by accident’.
