Don't underestimate an ambitious southern woman in seersucker. At least, that's what entrepreneurs Jolie Bensen and Sarah Elizabeth Dewey, founders of the southern-based clothing line Jolie and Elizabeth, have taught me. That, and not to wear seersucker after Labor Day. Their bad experience with an investor, however, made them realize the value of their company, and has pushed them to take matters into their own hands, and grow a successful brand that focuses on "Made in America," leadership, and seersucker.
