New Creative Policy Effective April 1, 2013


To my customers and friends:

Earning a new solo dress is a huge accomplishment for your child, and a huge expense for you. Having one custom-made is a major event, and should be exciting and fun for all involved. When I create a dress for one of you my goal is always to produce a superior product that you, your daughter and I all love, and to enjoy the process at the same time.

Over the last few years that process has somehow gone off-track, and I am now finding that the initial design and decision-making aspect of it has become onerous for parents, daughters and myself. Lately I find myself feeling extremely stressed and frustrated with the process, and have noticed in my customers similar stress, often coupled with confusion, and friction between parent and child. This is far from ideal.

With that in mind, I have decided to instigate a new creative policy- one that mimics the methods used by the big Irish Dance dressmakers overseas. Hopefully this will relieve the customer of anxiety and streamline the whole process. This policy is permanently posted on the sidebar at right, under the heading "New Creative Policy Effective April 1, 2013."

If anyone currently on my list (for a dress being made after April 1, 2013) wishes, as a result of this policy change, to be removed from my list, I believe I have given you enough time to order a dress from elsewhere and still receive it in time for NAN’s. If you would like to be removed, please inform me of your decision, so that I can fill your spot with someone on my waiting list.

Kind Regards,

Hannah Peters
