About Us
Paddy Kelleher Designs is a company that creates Irish Dancing costumes and accessories. We are located in London, Ontario, Canada and consist of a team of designers, dressmakers and craftsmen with experience in both professional theatre and competitive dance.
We approach the creation of each dress as a wearable work of art,
taking age, level and dancing style into consideration with every costume.
We take pride in our attention to quality, detail and excellence of fit.
In order to keep each custom dress unique and exclusive we limit the number
of design slots available.
Our waiting list for custom dresses fills quickly. Priority is given to previous clients.
At this point we are fully booked for custom dresses for NANs, 2008.
We plan to have a number of Off the Rack dresses available all year around.
Please see our contract and procedures page for further details.
Price range for dresses- $1700 for a simpler solo to $2500 for a very elaborate Championship level solo dress.
Most dress fall between $1900-$2250.
OTR dresses generally run $200-$300 less than a similar Custom dress would.
