Dancing With The Stars judge Loraine Barry revealed her bespoke dresses have been designed and handmade by her and one of her dance students.
The four times world dance champion turned teacher previously said she was so broke in the early days of her career that she sewed feathers on costumes and cleaned flats to pay for dance lessons.
But it seems her creative streak still remains today - as she admitted she has been working on her own standout gowns for her head judge duties on the glitzy RTE dance show this year with the help of her dance student turned designer Francesca Lazzari.
