- Parents had been seamstresses in Malaysia, didn't want their daughters to have the same hard, impoverished lives.

- Girls started sewing to make the most of their limited resources, stay fashionable on a budget.
- Because of their seamstressing experiences, the girls' parents fought hard against them starting a clothing line.
- They've vowed to put sisterhood and family first, business second.
- They say that once your parents see you happy in your profession, all of their expectations and worries evaporate.
- Parents came around to the point that their dad now cuts out articles and inspiration from fashion magazines.
