Kay is a mother of two Irish dancers (one long since retired) and lives in a small Ontario (Canada) town named Bradford. Ten years ago Kay's eldest daughter talked her into helping her design and colour patterns for what she envisioned as her first solo dress.  It turned out to be one of many as her daughter had the audacity to keep growing!  Kay's younger daughter joined in the fun at age 8, she is still dancing and Kay is still designing.  Over the years Kay has been asked to design for others and loves it.  Kay is like a child at Christmas in a fabric store. Her children both dread it when she spots one as they know Kay will be there for hours if they don't bodily drag her out.They have resigned themselves to making their own dinners etc. when Kay is drawing and her husband has even gotten into the act by designing and making a proper tracing/drawing table for her. It has been a wonderful experience so far and Kay has designs being worn in the US, Canada and the UK.
Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  Many, many thanks to a very generous Kay Mckay of Canada for donating so many lovely Irish dance dress designs to Colleens' of Canberra.
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.
