 |
| Many thanks to a very generous Tess of Brisbane, Australia for donating these Irish dance dress design to Colleens' of Canberra! |
 |
| Tess started designing and making Irish dance dresses about three years ago and has been extremely supportive to me in the building and setting up of Colleens' of Canberra. Tess' willingness to help others starting out in Irish dressmaking is nothing short of outstanding as she is always willing to share techniques and advice with others which is often evidenced on the Celtic Flame Message Board. |

| Wow! See below pictures of this dress when made up. |
| This lovely dress was made by Correll of Australia for her very lucky grand daughter Kimberley. |
 |
| This dress is based on Tess' design too. This dress was made by Kira of Kirations for Kirsten. |
 |
| This lovely dress was made by Gerry Ryan for her daughter. |
| Besides hours of computer advice and support to me Tess has also donated this lovely Irish dance dress design. Tess also has her own website called "Glitterbugs" which showcases Tess' own learning story. Tess also gives great support to other dressmakers without websites by giving them guest pages on her own website. |

| This dress was made by Debbie Baxter of the UK. |
 |
| Genevieve was clever enough to make this dress herself! Well done! |
 |
| This was Alison's first attempt at a solo dress for her daughter Hayden of Vancover, Washington. Great job! |
| Did you know that while over 200+ dresses have been made using the designs from Colleens' of Canberra very few donations have been received. If you use this design please consider making a donation to help keep this website operational. |
