Today the United States is celebrating the holiday Thanksgiving. A special tradition during this holiday is to tell someone how thankful they are. I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful dress Dancing in Celtic has made my daughter. We just love the vibrant blue and the intricate stitching on the skirt. As we head for the Eastern Region Oireachtas tomorrow this dress will give my daughter an outstanding presence on stage and with the countless hours i know my daughter has the right combination to have a successful day.

New dress buyer - Nov 2008 - Dear Ann,
I have been meaning to email you to thank you for the beautiful dress you made for Catherine. The picture in the gallery online does not do it justice. She LOVES it, her teacher loves it, her friends--and strangers--are so complementary. Thank you so very much. You were a pleasure to work with. I appreciate your frequent communication with me, and your ability to bring together the exact colors and style we were looking for at such a reasonable price.

New dress buyer - Nov 2008 - Hi Ann,
The dress came today – and there was no duty to pay – it was awesome – thank you!
The dress is absolutely lovely! Beyond my expectations! It’s beautifully designed and sewn!
Unfortunately – my daughter is away right now on a week long school outdoor education trip and she won’t see it or try it on until Thursday! I can hardly wait to see it on her!
Safe journey to Calgary! We just had a week of glorious fall weather (25 – 27 degrees C) but I’m afraid it is not meant to last!
All the best

Just to say that Evies dress arrived safely today friday 16th may. i was so shocked i had no idea it was on its way and so glad we were home to get our hands on it.
Evie loves it and im very relieved that it fits with my measurements your formula for measurements obviously works. There's room to grow but im glad of that because she'll be in it for a while.
Thanks for the timely delivery we'll be wearing it at nationals july 2nd nashville. Its coming up fast.
Siobhan Kennedy - Dear Ann
The dress is absolutely beautiful! Kaija will definately be able to wear this one for a while. The fit is wonderful but yet still allows for some growth. Barbara McNulty was happy with it.
Once again it has been wonderful doing business with you.
