Something New

Meredith — Sat, 22 May 2010 23:12:24 +0000

Well Ladies,
Today on Facebook we let the “cat out of the bag” that my companies now have embroidery available. I will have some completed garments up next week, and a few teaser samples up as I am working on things. This is something I have wanted to do for a very long time and decided now is the right time. I will have capabilities of doing from small designs to very large designs, single color or multi colored designs. I will be able to do the fabric type of jackets worn at Miss Rodeo America only with my own design spin. So check with me on pricing as this year I will be doing introductory pricing on these jackets, shirts, vests etc. I can also embroider down the legs of your jeans to match! I will soon announce another feature! Please check back often and look for Merezia on Facebook.

I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Stetson Jeans and Carhart for the jeans(the gals love them). And to Corral Boots and De La Cav boots for sending boots to use with the t-shirts. The pretty models are Carla Feese, Courtenay DeHoff and Julia Othmer. Carla and Courtenay are both cowgirls and Julia is a singer songwriter from LA.

Upcoming Fashion Shows

Meredith — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:50:17 +0000

Besides sewing all the beautiful rodeo queen clothes this summer, I have been working hard on designing and making the outfits for the runway shows for my Thistles West line at the Cody High Style Show and the Style West fashion shows and retail show in Cody, Wyoming September 23rd – 27th. These are fabulous shows that showcase the best of the best in Western Design thru furniture, fashions, jewelry and art. Designers from all over the country show in these shows. Check them out at:
www.contemporarywesterndesign.com (click on Style West)
www.bbhc.org/CodyHighStyle .

The outfits I am doing this year are very different from last year. The outfits for the shows reflect my love for working with many different types of leathers. I have done quite a few with deerskin which I dearly love to work with. I have thrown in some specialty leather such as some metallics pearlized gold overlay printed suede’s to create a wonderful unexpected eclectic mix. I am also throwing in some silk items with the leather. The set of eight fashions for the Cody High Style Show are a specially created line to reflect an updated version of Buffalo Bill Cody style fashions for women. You know, similar to the jackets he wore with the beaded designs and fringe on them. Of course, mine are a little different with painted designs, instead of beading, as I have to do my own take on them and not all include jackets of that style. I am using a very interesting color palette for these outfits which will remain a secret until the night of the fashion show, Sept. 23, 2009.

The outfits for the Style West Fashion Sow are going to be quite different for me. I am mixing western with another popular fashion style that will be quite a surprise. These have been so much fun to design and have given me a chance to design and work with new leathers and fabrics. This is all I can say for now, but may give a few sneak peeks right before the shows.

Check out what they are saying at Haute Gowgirl:

Fashion Fit For A Queen

Monday, 29th June 2009

Western fashion is bulging at the seams with amazing designers. From mainstream to couture designers, we never have an issue finding amazing styles to feature here at Haute Cowgirl. One of the finest designers, is Meredith Lockhart of Thistles West and Merezia. Meredith is the Vera Wang of the western fashion scene, designing awe inspiring creations for many rodeo queens and even has a line for us who don’t get to sport a crown on a daily basis. Each and every piece is feminine and eye catching. No detail is too much and is worthy of being a staple in any cowgirl’s closet.

From classic to subtle detailed yokes, feminine silhouettes, and luscious cotton sateen, these two white shirts are the perfect addition for creating a high fashion cowgirl look. And have you seen her BELTS? They will leave you speechless. So no need for a title my dear fashionistas, we can be ROYALLY styled too!

Stay Pretty
