Welcome to ECD Costumes
Hello, you have reached the blog of Lynn Macintyre. This is where you can find my stories about creating costumes for English Country Dance. Please comment, especially if you have an interest in historic construction, or contact me if you would like a gown made for you. More to come……!

I have significant costuming experience for historical and performance events. However, I have not made anything for English Country dance before. Would like information about which patterns are period appropriate for this dance form. Our English country ball is in January 2010 and I’d like to get started as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Nina

Hello Lynn,
I am originally from England and now reside in Canada and I own a company that makes custom dance costumes. I find your work to be superb and your blog is so beautifully detailed. I really admire what you do, as I know only too well that creating and manufacturing custom costumes with such authenticity is driven by a love for what you do and a passion for detail. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see more!
