Dance Mom's Dance Wear specializes custom dance wear, made using your child's measurements. We use only the best spandex, and each outfit is made by hand..by the mom of 8 dancers, who realizes that each dancer is built differently. Our dance wear is made to fit the way the dancers want it to. No more cookie-cutter sizes, because we realize that just as our dance wear is unique... so is your child!
Dance Mom's Dance Wear strives to fit each dancer, no matter what the body type. Even though we have ready-made sizes listed on our website, I am happy to make tweaks to the pattern to fit those kids who don't fit into the "Ballerina Bodytype" mold, and who often have a hard time finding dance clothing that fits correctly. Often these alterations are done for no extra charge. We also specialize in custom dance wear. If you need an outfit for a certain dance style, or just want a competition design that is unlike any you will see on another child, Dance Mom's Dance Wear is the place to buy. Our prices are much more reasonable than the big custom companies, and you get that one-on-one attention that comes naturally from a mother of 10.

I am a Dance Mom. Back when I was toting my kids back and forth to the studio, we didn't have a name for it, but that's what I was...a Dance Mom. In fact...I had 9 kids who danced! I was a Dance Mom Extraordinaire! When I was a dance mom, there was no "Dance Moms" television show. We didn't have a balcony to sit in, and we didn't yell and bicker. When I was a dance mom, we sat on folding chairs outside the studio. We looked after our younger children and we exchanged recipes....and eventually I became the official "fixer of costumes," because I was the mom with the sewing machine! Even back then, the dancers didn't like the way their costumes fit! They hated the elastic waistbands that pinched and pulled when they danced. They hated the "baggy butt syndrom" that came with their shorts and pants. They wanted me to alter their dance wear because while all dancers are different, the costumes are made in "cookie cutter" fashion, with different sizes, but not different "fits." It is through my years of experience as a the Dance Mom with the sewing machine that I learned many important things:
I've learned what dancers like, and how to fit different body types. I developed my special Dance Mom's Dance Wear Shorts Pattern that is exclusive to this site. It is comfortable and stylish, and the culmination of years listening to what dancers like and want. I learned that... just as important as the young dancer on stage, is the little sister or brother watching them from the front row. Before all of my kids were old enough to dance, the little ones wanted to be just like their older siblings. Through this, I learned how to make a "washable tutu." Tied tutus can't be washed, because the knots come undone. My tutus are sewn in such a way that the little ones can twirl and spin and play dress up all they want, without the fear of having to throw away their favorite tutu when it gets dirty. And when I turned my "mom hobby" into a business, I learned that there is nothing to be gained by cutting corners or by using cheap spandex. Quality is important to the way dance wear fits and holds up through the rigourous testing of a serious dancer. You can get cheaper dance wear on other websites, where they buy spandex by the mile instead of the yard, but at THIS Dance Mom's Dance Wear store, we care about how your dance wear fits, and that you get the quality that you deserve. My inventory is constantly changing, as I acquire new fabric, so check back often. If you have questions about any of the products in my store, please ask. Sincerely,
Cindy Walker
