NUMARI giveawayI'm always excited to hear about companies that allow you to order a custom size, so I was happy when the folks at NUMARI reached out to give away some prizes to Corporette readers.

The giveaways are kind of awesome for this one, ladies:  one grand prize winner will receive a complimentary custom fit dress (any price and customizations – customers choice), PLUS 10 additional winners will receive a $100 credit toward their first purchase. Amazing.

  1. Cute. Hope I win!! Curious about the fabric content. Sometimes it says: Luxe Ponti di Roma. What is that? Cotton & poly blend?

  2. I made a mistake on something last night (after weeks of working late) that my supervisor caught and fixed. There are many reasons (1) stress and tight deadlines, (2) my relative unfamiliarity with the work I’m doing, and its complexity (3) my supervisor’s unwillingness to answer questions – she is somewhat hostile if I ask anything, with the attitude of “you should already know that”. We are supposed to meet today to talk about it, and it’s going to be negative feedback. Which I always think of as a reprimand.
    I feel like there are good reasons why I made it, but I’m so, so nervous and stressed (coupled with the stress of another deadline today, and end of this week). And I have a baby at home and am struggling to juggle everything. Please help me deal with this upcoming meeting!

    1. Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody gets negative feedback sometimes. It’s not going to cost you your job or anything, so go in, discuss it, apologize, and move on with your life. It’s not like you can do anything to change what already happened, all you can do is learn from it in the future.

    2. You need to compartmentalize in two ways. First, consider your meeting to be a learning experience – the boss may criticize, your job is to accept it gracefully and explain that you understand the mistake that was made, that it won’t happen again and that it won’t happen because you’ll now do x, y and z to ensure that it won’t happen again. If you are graceful about it, it’s going to be harder for the boss to go beyond giving constructive criticism. Second, you need to give yourself space to vent and get your frustrations out, analyze what happened and why, and then re-group to focus on whatever is upcoming. Good luck. It sounds like you are learning and along with learning, there will be some mistakes but most of the time, they can be fixed. :-)

      1. I tend to get overwhelmed and nervous when I prepare myself for constructive feedback. And it’s worse (and almost debilitating) if I don’t have a level of trust with the manager, and I feel like they may not be committed to my success and may harbor a desire to get rid of me. I don’t have much advice, except to say, brace yourself, get a few talking points memorized ahead of time: “Thank you, I appreciate your feedback” or something generic. Then just get through the meeting and leave the office to try to process it. I’ve been there before — trying to juggle a young baby and a stressful work situation. Trust your instincts in the meeting, observe your manager’s tone and demeanor. Lots may be unspoken in those kinds of meetings. When it’s over, do whatever you can to create distance between who you are as a PERSON/MOM/WIFE and the job. Try not to let work rule your thoughts. All the best of luck to you!

  3. The post says that we can enter by signing up for the newsletter, but the link also requires us to like Numari on Facebook. Which is correct?

      1. Thanks for the clarification. Too bad for people like me who don’t use Facebook!

  4. Ooh, I love that there’s a custom dressmaker in DC! Can you choose the colors? I am kind of over the whole “colorblock” trend and would vastly prefer a dress in a solid color. Almost all of their dresses seem to be colorblock.

    1. I’d be curious about choosing other colors, too. I kind of like the idea of a few of the dresses in kelly green and navy…

    2. You can choose the colors for all the styles but the color block ones are currently not available in one tone. We have 2 styles that are available in one solid color – our Diagonal Drape Sheath and Sheer Lace A-Line.
