Susan Gowin creates costumes in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.  Located in Northern Virginia, Susan has been designing Irish Dancing dresses since 1995.  In addition to custom dressmaking, Susan offers design and color consulting, and embroidery and applique services.
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.
This design is available for use by anyone - home sewer or professional costume maker.  (Professional is defined as anyone who uses this design to make an Irish Dancing dress for anybody outside of immediate family or for pay.) 

If you use this design, please notify me at Susan@Feisdress.com.  I request that you submit a picture to me for use on my website at my discretion.  If you are a professional dressmaker, please make a donation to this website or a local charity equivalent to your usual design charge.   If you make the dress available for purchase, you must attribute the design to Susan Gowin/Feis Dress Designs.
