Company Bio

Designs to Shine by Maria McGill is a name synonymous with luxury and distinctive design. "You always know when it's a Maria McGill dress," we've heard a hundred times. We specialize in creating glamorous gowns for fabulous women of every shape and age and over the past decade, Designs to Shine has become expert on making ballgown and latin costumes for all styles….

It all started in 1996 with Maria McGill, then still a professional dancer. Maria often found it difficult to find gowns that she loved. So she started making them herself! With the help of her mother and sister and long time friend, she would make her own competition dresses. When people started buying them straight off her body, she knew she had started something special! So from her mother's kitchen to our studio now, Designs to Shine has grown into what we are today. We are happy that nearly all of our employees have been with the company for at least 3 years and many close to 10! We are truly a family and believe in our product 100%! Designs to Shine is the largest company producing Ballroom Dancewear with well over 300 years of combined experience in couture gown creation. Our embellishers are all very talented artists and you can see it in every gown. We truly feel that we are the best in the world at what we do.
