Good morning,
This meeting of the fashion police is now open!
All stand and recite the creed, "I will do my duty, to the goddess of fashion, to rip and tear without regard for race or sex, any and all costumes that cross the line into boring, ugly, ridiculous, seriously too small, unflattering, wedgie producing, over the top, too naked, not naked enough and just plain weird."
That said, let's get to it!
Wedgies - my personal pet peeve. It is possible to have a dress cut both long enough and with enough fabric to completely cover the behind.
And it also my opinion that the costume can actually change the way you skate, these skaters watch every ounce, what happens when they strap on 42 pounds of fabric and stones?
Caroline Kostner Short Program dress - Is this a new style, thong dresses? OMG, when she did a spin you couldn't tell what was the front or back. Get a new seamstress. Which she did for the LP, nice, skirt still a little short but the concept was excellent and seemed to fit her better.
Without spoiling anything, the reason Shizuka Arakawa placed like she did in the LP is because she finally got a dress that did not give her a wedgie. She tends to go a little over the top, the SP dress was way too engineered, that white part was distracting and way too severe. Why are all of her dresses cut clear up to her earlobes? What is she hiding?
Miki Ando LP - What exactly is happening here? Too short in the body, too much skirt, too much texture, bad color, bad, bad, bad. Miki is a gorgeous athletic young woman, here she's dressing like a milkmaid. You just aren't going to make anything look smaller with yards of fabric, plus I'm thinking it just weighed her down and made her tired too fast.
Bodysuits? I'm still on the fence. Irina looks pretty good in her SP. However, Sokolova needs her own fashion police squad, to save her from herself. She's an absolute doll, beautiful face, sort of a gamine type. So instead of playing that up she heads into weirdness and gotta tell ya, if you're not in the best shape ever, don't wear a nearly naked bodysuit. Makes me think she's secretly wanting to be an ice dancer. Who's the one in the black/red, Poykio?, now that was fine, also a little distractingly naked, but she's at least got the body.
I'm sure I'll come up with more on my second viewing of the SP and LP, but it's a start..
Next!
