My name is Natalia, I am a former figure skater and dancer and now dance costume designer.
I have been dancing for more than half of my life, and as far as I can remember, I sewed all my costumes myself, well 😜 in the beginning my grandmother helped me. 😉
The dance world never let me go, for which I am actually glad and grateful, and for more than 10 years now, I have been making costumes professionally.
I will gladly share with you all my techniques, my secrets, best practices and life hacks in creating dresses for competitive ballroom and latin dancing.
The main thing is the desire, everyone can learn to sew, I hope my videos will be useful and helpfull to you.
