Hello, I'm Amy, and this is how Midnight All Year began.

I started Midnight All Year as a single mom living in central Pennsylvania. Before that, I left my career designing clothes in New York City to raise my three kids.

I was working full time, raising my kids, and trying to build a life in Pennsylvania. But I missed New York and I missed designing. Through it all, I kept wanting black cotton pieces that felt like me and worked for real life. Whether I was managing work, kid duties, and errands, or rushing through the city in my past life, I wanted clothes that were comfortable and durable, but still a little dramatic. I basically needed a closet full of casual tees Morticia Addams could throw on with jeans.

I discovered it was just as hard to find those pieces online in reclusive motherhood as it had been when I combed through boutiques. So I decided to build my own line, one piece at a time. I researched American-made fabrics and found brave factories in NYC that were open during the pandemic and willing to take tiny orders from an unknown brand.

It wasn’t easy. With rare spare hours and limited funds, what I hoped to launch in a year took five, full of setbacks and delays. As my kids neared college, I lost sleep wondering if I’d made a mistake, but every step brought me closer to the vision.

Today, our pieces are sewn in small woman-owned sewing rooms in Long Island City and Midtown Manhattan, and my kids help me run our small family business. My hope is to build something lasting here in Milton, Pennsylvania, while making pieces women truly love to wear.

Thank you for being here. We hope you find something you love to wear for the seasons of your own story.
