Hello, hello! I'm Matchu, loving father of Dress to Impress.
I started building the site on a whim one day, and never expected it to
really catch on—but here you are, proving that someone else out there loves
Dress to Impress as much as I do &lt;3 Thank you so much!
</p>
<p>
I just wanted to let you know how much your help means to me.
I built the site mostly for fun, and never really expected it to catch on,
but here we are, years later, and the site is entirely community-driven, from
our modeling data to our hosting costs.
Thanks so much for being a part of that community—the whole thing blows my
mind, and I feel honored to be a part of this big thing that is Dress to
Impress :)

It's pretty sweet.

live on [Amazon Web Services][aws] for about $25/mo (it varies by usage),
so that leaves us at about $65/mo. Add in $10 for the domain name and our
Amazon costs being on the rise, and that rounds to an annual
budget of $800.
