Custom Designs
each design is a unique work of art
At Head To Toe Designs we work with you to create a costume that brings out nothing less than confidence. Our designers are extremely knowledgeable about the types of cut, height, embellishments, materials and colors that best accommodate your style of dance.
Start by booking an appointment. When you meet with the designer, bring your ideas, photos, sketch, or music. If you are not sure what you're looking for and are open to ideas even better! Being creative with our clients is always exciting because the final product will be truly unique.

Embroidery
Personalize it!
Embroidery is beautiful. We love to help clients personalize their items or to create works of art. We can add stock designs, text or your logo to anything that can be hooped. We have made many pillows and quilts for raffle fundraisers. Some have raised nearly $1000 for the non-profit.

Everything else
restyling / embellishment / bling / alterations
Sometimes it’s not necessary to start from scratch to create a performance outfit. A good alteration can take a good looking dress and make it look stunning on an individual. Sometimes a little restyling helps modernize the dress. Other times adding some embellishments and crystal elements does the trick. With over15 yrs of experience our designer can recommend the best option for you taking into consideration your budget and timeline.

Restyling
The look of the Irish dance dress is updated just by making a new skirt. Because of the way it was made some the original embroidery could be reused saving money. Our designers love coming up with creative ways to modernize costumes or re-purpose them.
Embellishment and Bling
Crystal elements, trims and appliques can take a simple dress and turn it into a work of art. Whether the garment is brand new or an off the rack one, our designers use these elements to make each costume unique.
