About Me
- Name: Dorothy Ryan
- Location: Illinois, United States
Hi! I'm Dorothy Ryan. I have had a life time of sewing. My mother had a sewing work room in our home from the day I was born. She made draperies for John M. Smythe and other major design firms. I started sewing clothes for myself from about the age of nine. I have made everything from bathing suits to wedding dresses and all things in between. When my daughter started Irish dancing (she is now 23 years old), I knew nothing about solo dresses. Her dancing started with a large expense for the school dress. I decided that I could exercise my sewing skills and create these dresses. I thought that if I could make a wedding dress I certainly could make one of these costumes. Boy was I wrong and my first attempts certainly proved it. Fortunately patience and perseverance prevailed and I mastered the dress. As friends and other dancers found out that I had perfected this skill , I was asked over and over "would you make one for my daughter?". That was the start of "Ryan's Irish Dance Dresses". This is a one person operation. I am somewhat of a perfectionist and will not accept a bad fit or poor quality. Please email me for more details dorothyryan@att.net
