Elaine learnt to sew in secondary school and developed a passion for textiles and dressmaking which became a lifelong hobby. She started making dancewear for her daughter Hannah in 1993 and developed her specialist skills in this area throughout the years of Hannah's competitive dance career before establishing the company in 2006. Hannah joined the business as a junior on leaving education in 2007 and was trained by Elaine. She continued to dance competitively before turning professional and now teaches dance alongside her work with the company. She regularly attends competitions, keeping us up to date with current trends and fashion and her dance experience is invaluable to our design work.
