Designer Meredith Lockhart

When I was a child, I could hardly wait for Christmas too see what kind of clothes my mother had made for my dolls. I think that was the beginning of my interest in sewing and design. I played with an amazing set of paper dolls that my aunt and mother had made when they were teenagers. These were beautifully hand water colored dolls with these wonderful dresses that dated from the late 1800's thru the 30's. When I was in the seventh grade, I made my first dress that I could wear to school, and my teachers complimented me on it and I was hooked!

Merezia - Now found on MLC

In 1995 Merezia Custom was born out of the need to have another label to do custom clothing for rodeo queens to wear in National pageants such as the Miss Rodeo America Pageant. Now Meredith's rodeo queen wear can be found in Meredith Lockhart Collections, where one can also find accessories, jewelry, and other fashions--now all in one location! Meredith has had many young ladies finish in the top 10 in the Miss Rodeo America Pageant and the National High School Rodeo Queen contest wearing Merezia fashions.

Thistles West was started by Meredith Lockhart in 1989 in a tiny farm house on the side of a hill in north eastern Kansas. Meredith designs and makes all the items under the MLC label, and under the previous Thistles West brand. Most of the items are one-of-a-kind and all are of the highest quality possible. Her beautiful designs have been worn to cattleman's balls and in the Miss Rodeo America Pageant.
