How It Started
When Kaci was a child, most of her clothes were frilly, Victorian-inspired hand-me-downs from her cousin that were two sizes too big. Knowing that the clothes weren't going to help her blend in in suburban Georgia, Kaci taught herself how to alter her clothes by watching YouTube videos. This childhood practice caused Kaci to develop a strong interest in clothing utilization and ultimately led her to build Cimu.
