| Since Jess was a little girl she had always enjoyed drawing. Her mother, being very crafty would drag her and her sister out to the local craft stores for whatever supplies she needed for her latest project. There Jess' creative mind was a whirl of ideas and her love of fabrics began. At 25 years old she began competitive Irish dancing and only a year later was once again looking at those same bolts of fabrics deciding on what would look great for her first solo dress. |
| Four solo dresses later, Jess designed and assisted in the selection of fabrics for her first Open Championship dress. Her vision was created by a designer in Ireland to her exact specifications. Jess was thrilled! Now, a year later, pregnant and expecting her own little dancer
she has begun to draw again. This time she is trying her hand at Championship solo dress designs.
These are Jess' first designs. She is really hoping we will like them. Please feel free to contact her. Jess would be very honoured to have a dress made from one of her designs in the future. |
