DORE DESIGNS HAS THE WINNING STYLE
By: Hope Wilkos, Writer/Blogger Photographer: George Whylie Videographer: Maxine NolanDancing has taken on a whole new meaning as each week Americans sit down in front of the television to watch reality competition series such as “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing With the Stars”. We become totally absorbed in not just the ease of movement of the couples across the ballroom floor but with the dazzling outfits that the competitors wear for the selected routines.
Have you ever stopped to wonder where do these intricate outfits come from? Dore’ Designs started out as a small company in Southwest Florida in the 70’s and as the love of dance has grown and demand for memorable costumes has increased, the company has taken on an even more popular image and productivity has expanded to fit the needs of the dance world.
Dore’ Designs are known for creating cutting-edge fashion from fashion fabrics and fabrics of the highest quality. Whatever the event, whether it be skating, ballroom dancing or pageants, the perfect gown awaits and can be custom-tailored to fit its particular customer.
To show their dedication to the dance industry, the company also sponsors 42 Professional and Amateur Dance couples in the USA and Canada. They also outfit the Swarovski-USA Dance Project that was kicked off at the 2011 USA Dance Nationals.
The company’s popularity is evident in their yearly gross revenue of over $2 million in annual sales which has more than doubled in the last 5 years thanks to its loyal customers. Dore’ Designs is the industry leader in ballroom fashion and their fashions can be seen in “So You Think You Can Dance” and the new movie to be released in 2012 called “Musical Chairs”.
Having the expertise of being able to execute the designs from start to finish has put the company name out there and attracted clients from a diverse clientele not only in the United States but across the world as well.
Vivid hues easily attract your attention and ornate fabrics of jersey, crepe, silk and elastin finished off with various types of Swarovski crystals bring an end result of stunning and exquisite beauty captured in timeless elegance.
Couture designers such as Valentino, Versace and Alexander McQueen, provide the inspirational backdrop for exquisite gowns that lift women to the top of a most perfect pedestal. The gowns drape the body in the most magical of ways. Low slung backs, beaded trains, ruffles that look back in retrospect and complimentary patterns are all part of what Dore’ Designs stand for.
Dancewear has an exciting exuberance that shines in every step taken on the dance floor.
The future will find Dore’ Designs expended by couture and ready-to-wear lines for evening along with practice wear that can be customized for dance studios to brand themselves.
Customers can visit the Dore’ Designs showroom in Cape Coral, Florida which is over 6000+ square feet or visit one of their boutiques located in New York City and Culver City, CA. Like them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/DoreDesigns.
