History

Established in 1992.

Costumes N Designs by Heather opened in September of 1992, first located in Tilbury under the name of ‘Crafts by Heather’.

Heather got her beginning about five years earlier, in 1987, designing and fabricating custom fit wedding attire, including bridal gowns; fabricating kids clothing & costumes; fabricating heritage costumes and any other need a customer might have!

After about 12 years at home, Heather decided to move her business back to town, this time around, in Chatham. She used the opportunity to start stocking and selling dance shoes, including point shoes, as well as a more sophisticated selection of high end designer dancewear.

Last year, Heather moved Costumes N Designs back to
