About Prime Dress Designs, LLC

Through expert pattern makers and professional designers, Prime Dress Designs has the ability to produce not only a custom fit Irish Dance dress, but one with stunning quality and precise measurements, synthesizing the traditional Celtic art with modern design and fashion. Prime Dress Designs is located in Northern New Jersey. We take pride in working with local, national and international customers.

Prime Dress Designs realizes that your dancer’s body can change. We make all of our dresses with the ability to be let out or taken in. Some of our dress styles allow for spandex panels to be put into the dresses to allow for a snug, but flexible fit. We are constantly adding to our options and styles.
