Learn About the Skilled Seamstress at Myline’s Bridal in Greensboro, NC

Myline Villanueva Kamsch was born in the rural area of San Andreas, Philippines. She came from a big family of five sisters and two brothers. It was difficult growing up there since there were few opportunities and few modern amenities such as running water and electricity. No public schools were available in the province during this time, so Myline's parents worked very hard to send their children to private schools. They did not have much money to buy their school uniforms or new clothes every year, and at the age of 18, Myline found herself taking apart her uniforms, turning the fabric inside out, and resewing it into a new uniform. This was the beginning of her love of fashion and design.

Her college years took her to study education and law, but she realized those subjects weren't for her and decided to follow her passion for clothing design. She moved to Manila to attend a design school where she learned the art of tailoring, dressmaking, and pattern making. She began work at popular boutiques in Manila that manufactured bridal and evening gowns. She quickly received several promotions that put her in a supervisor position within the bridal department.

In 1988, Myline moved to the United States to work with Margaret Christie, where she was in charge of bridal design. Six years later, she was able to follow her dream and opened Myline's Fashion, which specializes in custom-made bridal attire, evening gowns, and prom dresses. Myline added tuxedo rentals to her portfolio when she acquired Josette's Bridal in January 2009.

Myline also does freelance work for Belk Peter Millar in Macy’s.

Myline has designed for many North Carolina celebrity figures, including Miss Greensboro, Miss Teen North Carolina, and Miss North Carolina, who wore Myline's original design in the Miss USA pageant. Her editorial clients include Vanity Fair Corporation, where she is frequently onsite to oversee the clothing styling of the models. Myline is also heavily involved with several charity organizations, and her most current pro bono work is with Pure Fashion, an organization that teaches young people to have a good self-image and to be good role models in virtue and in the fashions they wear. Currently, she is also developing educational and business opportunities for Filipinos in the province where she was raised and where her siblings still live today.

It is about helping a bride get her dream gown, look her absolute best in it, and help her feel her best on one of the most important days of her life. This is the belief that I have had since I started my business in 1994, and I hope to continue helping brides in the future.
