A Collection aimed at beginner or part time dancers plus an alternative to bespoke Irish Dance Costumes

Rising Star Designs was first started to create costumes for the “Rising Stars’ in Irish dance but the irony turned out that a large percentage of dancers could not afford a custom dress. Parents feel under pressure to keep up with styles and the ever changing fashion in dance and this is difficult if you have a dancer that may not commit long term and so find themselves selling on an expensive dress after a short period of wear.

My Rince Collection offers dancers a multitude of choices in styles, colours and then crystal packages to give them a step in the right direction before ordering their wonderful custom Irish Dance dress.

We now have another addition to our popular collection. A simple dress without embroidery that comes in six shades of Velvet or 14 Shades of Matte Satin. This is a dress that could be used as it comes or customised with Crystals, Appliqué pieces, Fabric paints to name but a few creative ways to make it special to you. We think this could be a great way to be creative with your costume and stand out on stage.

We are renowned for our originality and quality and I stand by the statement that Rising Star costumes are the best quality in the industry and I want to carry this through to The Rince Collection.

Every person that orders from this collection will receive a non-transferable Discount of 10% off their future custom Rising Star Solo Costume.

Be Creative!

Rince Dress - More Choice for less cost

The Rince Collection was our first step into offering an affordable option to our more expensive and detailed bespoke Costumes. It has proven very popular with over 150 created in the 12 months we have been offering the collection worldwide! It proves that it is a collection that is needed no more so than where we are today with Covid-19.

How does it work?

You would start with the Bodice and choose with style out of 4 that you prefer. You can refer to the Gallery below of variations we have created for customers. Then you choose what style of Skirt you would like out of the 4 options. We have updated these with a new soft version that we have for our Simple Dress option which we feel will be popular this year. Then you have a choice of Sleeves. You can keep these standard, Fitted in Sheer fabric or for an additional cost Lace. We change our stock of lace regularly so not to have the same style on all our costumes so if you would like this choice then we would send you a photo of what Lace we have and suggest some options for you. We keep a record of all Rince Dresses on file so we do not repeat similar looks.

Once you fill out the form below with your choices we would send you a graphic of how the costume would look and a photo of the materials used.

What material choices do i have?

You have the same choices as the Simple Dress above, six shades of Velvet & 14 Shades of Matte Satin. You simply pick what base colour and second colour you would like and our design team will design the colours to suit the bodice and skirt styles you have chosen . We will send you two graphic choices to choose from.

Can the dress be crystallised?

Yes we offer three different packages for the amount of crystals on the dress.

Minor £150 Major £250 Stellar £350

We would crystallise the dress as we see fit under whichever package your budget allows. We try to change it up each time to make every dress different so the placement or choice of size of stone will vary.

How do I receive my costume?

In Studio Fitting*

If you are available to visit our studio in Belfast you can come for a one on one fitting with one of our experienced seamstresses.  Fittings take a full day but you will be given breaks throughout the day to go sightseeing or shopping if you wish.  The dress is completed with Crystals if ordered all in one day.  We have a very spacious comfortable fitting room which is yours for the duration of the day. 

*There is an additional charge for this service.

Overseas Orders

If you live overseas we would carry out the whole process in our studio and construct the costume as per the measurements we either receive from you or if you have been measured by a member of our staff at a competition.

We ask for photographs of the measurements you take so we can see if you have measured incorrectly.  You will receive your costume wrapped safely in a secure box by courier. 

How Much?

We price the Rince Dress based on the size of the dancer but they start at £400 and top out at £600GBP. We ask for the age and height of the dancer when you fill out the form below so we can send you a firm quote.
