I’ve danced the majority of my life and understand how a costume can transform your performance.  My headpieces are built to give you confidence and endue your performance with inspiration!

I was nine years old the first time I appeared on stage. I spent 20 years performing, later teaching ballet and modern dance, and choreographing for ballet and modern dance productions.  After I retired, I became an IT Manager in Asheville, NC; currently, I am web developer as a federal civilian contractor. I’ve crafted a variety of headpieces and fashion accessories for 25 years in the evening and weekends.

Wow! This headpiece is stunningly beautiful! Jerri Lynn worked with me on every step of the process, from sending me pics and even video of the rhinestones to show the sparkle to making recommendations on the best way to secure the headpiece. I highly, highly recommend her work!

This is a beautiful tiara I ordered for my daughter who performed at a ballet competition. It was a pleasure working with the seller who helped with selecting the color of the stones to match my daughter’s costume. It was shipped and delivered on time and arrived sooner than I expected. I will definitely order again and I highly recommend Dragongatedesign. Thank you!

We cant begin to thank you for creating our beautiful work of art!!! [She] looked stunning on stage…. We will be repeat customers for sure!!! The headpiece is absolutely PERFECT with the costume and fits her head like it is an extension of her. She even dances ‘pulled up’ because the crown makes her feel so special!!! Thank you soooo much!” Six months later: “I can’t begin to thank you and wanted to tell you that [she] has won 3 best costume awards. Your work is simply stunning and makes her feel so special. They asked her what the best part of her costume is and she replied, my headpiece! Thank you!

WHAT IS THE
DRAGON GATE

In Chinese mythology, the Dragon Gate was a legendary place of great transformation, symbolizing triumph after hard work and diligence. Success as a dancer is a matter of effort. They work hard for their moment on stage in the spotlight—and the tiara is often a potent symbol of that well-earned success.
