Hi, I’m June and over the years I’ve made literally thousands of leotards and costumes (and other stuff) and loved (almost) every minute of it.
But at the stage my costume diary was constantly overflowing and client waiting lists threatened to bury me under a froth of fabric, frills and feathers, I decided deadlines were no longer my thing – but creating beautiful, colourful, sometimes innovative, often OTT, costumes definitely always would be. So from my two labels – Leotards Unlimited (1986) and One White Swan (2009) – Dance Costumes NZ was born.
All costumes are created solely by me here in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Some are stage ready and can be shipped right now, some are previews of what's either -
'In the Wings' (just waiting for my time and a few final touches before they're ready for sale) or -
'Backstage' (still in the design stage).
Recently I decided I had way too much fabric and trims to ever use in my lifetime so over the coming months I'll be gradually building a separate website - One White Swan - Dance Fabrics.
In the meantime if you're in the market for stiff tutu net, matching Lycra/Spandex or trimmings please don't hisitate to contact me.
