Glam Stitch launched in 2018 as an alternative to mainstream designers to provide high-end fashion with quality service and affordability as part of the company’s mission.
Each costume is one-of-a-kind, taking the client’s dance style and personality in mind when creating a new design.
Since launching, the company has grown to five employees including two tailors, an embroidery machine operator and customer service with lead designer Monika Wojtas at the helm of the design operation.
“I have been designing for about four years now and was with Elevation Design for two years, where I operated embroidery machines, followed by two years at Taylor Dresses where I learned the art of dress design.”
Monika is a gifted artist who paints, decoupages and creates sculptures. She fell in love with dress design and soon discovered her artistic background was a strong asset in the Irish Dance costume design world.
Glam Stitch is in the heart of Antrim Town in Ireland, a mere 10 minutes from Belfast International Airport. Check out Glam Stitch Antrim on Facebook and if you like what you see, send Monika a direct message to discuss the design and production process.

Tragedy stuck a Las Vegas family when two siblings were hit by a pickup truck on Valentine’s Day after leaving school.
Charlotte Bush, age 9, remains in critical condition while her brother Alex, age 12, passed away shortly after the crash.
Charlotte's family and friends are praying for her recovery as she fights for her life in the hospital.
Charlotte’s passion is Irish Dancing and her dance school Scoil Rince ni Riada has launched a social media campaign using the hashtag #WeDanceForCharlotte to let Charlotte’s family know the entire dance community is supporting them during this tragic time.
Charlotte’s dance teacher, Tara Reid TCRG is asking dancers and schools across the globe to take a minute out of their day to post a video in support of Charlotte and her family.
Scoil Rince ni Riada recently launched a video explaining the importance of the #WeDanceForCharlotte campaign.
“Charlotte is still in critical condition and fighting for her life. If this is something you can do, that would be amazing.
I was at the hospital yesterday and, when I walked in, her dad showed me the first video a school posted for them and it meant so much to them.”
The O’Riada Manning Academy in Mission, Kansas took the challenge and created this video in February.
