Flapper Competition Dress



This Flapper-style competition dress was made of stretch velvet and spandex, and adorned with Swarovski crystals. The dress has a V-neck, a half-back with straps, and a fringed A-line skirt. A sequined "belt" lies just above the skirt, neatly finished with a faux buckle. Fringed arm-bands, a sequined headband, and a feather hair clip complete the look.






Irish Competition Dress




Created for an Irish-themed program, this stretch velvet and spandex dress is striking both on and off the ice. The fully lined bodice has a high front neckline and scooped back with criss-crossed straps. The bright green underskirt echoes the bodice inset piece and gives great movement t the skirt. The crystal design on this dress features an emerald green Eeltic knot outlined in gold. Flourishes around the knot add sparkle without drawing attention away from the focal point.
