www.SuperCuteDresses.com/ is an online shop owned by Luke and Kariann Ringger of rural Bluffton. The business sells nursing dresses to mothers and dresses to women of all shapes and sizes. The business started back in July 2022 from their home.

Kariann learned how to buy and sell on Facebook out of necessity, because that’s how she could afford clothes. While Luke was in seminary getting his masters, Kariann would resell cloth diapers on Facebook to help with family finances.
