History

Established in 1987.

I became a tailor and seamstress in 1970. By 1987 I was making my own figure skating outfits. People liked what they saw so I started up my business which today is known as Laurie’s Original Skating Apparel. The slogan for my business was started by people in the stands saying «there goes a Laurie’s original», so it became It’s A Laurie’s Original. I make costumes/​outfits for all ages, both genders. I have schooling in design work and a background as an artist. This is the way I express myself artistically. Making up designs, using all colors and turning it into something gorgeous to look at is my passion. My outfits are made-​to-​measurements to ensure a great and comfortable fit while still being a showstopper.

Meet the Business Owner

Laurie H.

Business Owner

I started sewing between the 6^th and 7^th grade during the summer and I was bored. Then in High School I became a tailor and seamstress making all my own school clothes. I was voted «Best Dressed» in school. In 1987 while competing I started making my own figure skating dresses. People started coming to me asking me to sew for them because they liked my designs. I then got so busy making figure skating outfits that I decided to make it my business. My passion is designing something that is different, comfortable and gorgeous to look at. I never make the same design for someone else. When you buy an outfit from me it is your design exclusively. There may be some that might be similar but never the same.
