About
About Me
ABOUT
Dorothy Miller
Designer. Model. Founder. And I train AI.
Two tracks, one standard: do it right. LBD is my bespoke atelier where I personally oversee fabric and fit; Meta AI is where I train visual and pattern-related models. They stay separate, but the rigor is the same.
Fashion & Custom
Fashion & Bespoke
LBD grew from runways and camera sets: elevated ready-to-wear plus one-to-one bespoke, each piece built to feel like a second skin. Collaborations include Champion, Skechers, Coach. Awards: San Francisco Fashion Week Vanguard Fashion Awards and Canton Fair Design Innovation Award (CF Award).
No compromise on fabric. No compromise on pattern.
AI & Model Training
AI & Model Training
As a Meta AI model trainer I focus on sketching, fashion design thinking, and pattern construction. I feed design language, human proportions, and cut logic into models so AI can "think like a designer." Separate from LBD, but it sits at the tech x aesthetics crossroads I care about.

LBD - Little Black Dress
Created for women. Every woman deserves a little black dress made for her alone - no sizing chart compromises. From measurement, fabric selection, patterning to fittings, every step is one-to-one. Bespoke is not a checklist; it's a dialogue between body and spirit.
LBD's mission: make clothing your second skin. Elevated ready-to-wear and bespoke suiting, gowns, and everyday pieces all live here. Materials and construction are chosen to last - whether you're heading to an event or living your daily life, you stay undefinable.
For appointments or questions, leave a note here and we'll schedule time in the studio.

Journey
Fashion & Bespoke | Growth & Grounding
Starting Point
Why I Built Little Black Dress
As a woman, I'm obsessive about fabric: what touches skin shouldn't be polyester heat and pilling, but breathable, skin-friendly materials that stand the test of time. After graduation I saw too many garments that looked fine but failed on the body, so I decided to build a true little black dress for women like me - from fabric to cut, from zero.
After Launch
Learning to Model My Own Work
When LBD started there wasn't a model on hand, so I learned from zero - stepping in front of the lens and runway for my own designs. Not being a trained model makes each piece feel honest: you see how the designer herself interprets the dress. The lack of polish lets the design read even clearer.
2018 - First Studio
Miami South Beach
The first LBD space opened in Miami South Beach. Sun, sea breeze, and a diverse mix of cultures made it the place where the little black dress met clients face to face.
Collaborations & Awards
Champion, Skechers, Coach: Two Cities, Two Awards
Working with Champion, Skechers, Coach and other global brands sharpened pattern, craft, and style. Awards followed: San Francisco Fashion Week Vanguard Fashion Awards and the Canton Fair Design Innovation Award (CF Award) in Guangzhou. Two cities, two validations - covering both bespoke and ready-to-wear.
2021 - Second Studio
Denver - LoDo
The second LBD space opened in Denver's Lower Downtown. The city's energy and outdoor spirit meet LBD's minimal, wearable pieces - bespoke and elevated ready-to-wear both grow here.
In Progress - Third Studio
Site Selection - Fully Self-Designed
The third studio is being scouted. I'll design and build it end-to-end - circulation, lighting, merchandising, every detail shaped by "Little Black Dress & Bespoke," so every step inside becomes part of the design.
Another Track: Meta AI
As a Meta AI model trainer, I work deeply on sketching, fashion design thinking, and pattern structure - turning design language, human proportion, and cut logic into something a model can understand and generalize. Separate from LBD, but it pushes further at the tech x aesthetics intersection.
