If you want to be really successful in the marketplace, find a void you can fill. For Lilia Beaman, it was the lack of choices for women among classic designs like western pearl snap shirts that motivated her to start her own line. What began as a hobby ended up being a unique niche and an opportunity to share her own vision for fashion. Now she offers a wonderful collection of tops for me and women, dresses, wallets and more under the fitting moniker, Western Whims. Flair plus a touch of sophistication is so authentically Austin. When starting a new piece, Lilia thinks first in terms of silhouettes as any good garment designer should. She strives to create pieces that are both comfortable and timelessly flattering. Trends come and go, but Lilia is focused on fits that never go out of style. She then finds fabrics that will work best with the particular outline. Lilia is drawn more to whimsical patterns, from classic florals to those with playful personality. She has no desire to play it safe with plain fabrics. There are already plenty of those shirts mass-made. It's the way Lilia picks and pairs colors and patterns that makes her shirts and dresses unique. Plus, they are all handmade, so they are truly one-of-a-kind. Lilia happily accepts custom requests as well if you need a piece that suits you. I can say from first hand experience how wonderful and whimsical Lilia's designs are. She drew me in with the colors and motifs, but turned me in to a happy customer with a really flattering fit. Her bicycle print dress for example is so comfortable and makes me feel adorable. Thanks Western Whims!
