Favorites:
Meryl's pink SD dress (pre-Olympics)
Yuna's chartreuse SP
Ashley's yellow LP
Natalia Popova's fuchsia LP, gorgeous but overlooked (http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/...Figure+Skating+Championships+40OB7z8Jt3Al.jpg)

Not-So-Favorites:
Yulia's "red coat" LP, it was unique for sure, and suited the music but to me it was poorly executed, like she had accidentally left her practice jacket on
Adelina's SP and LP
Gracie's blue LP, too aging

I totally agree with you regarding Soyoun's dress! The detailing is the colour for white costumes. On the topic of detailing on white costumes, I adore Julia's white dress from last season. Again, exquisite detailing, and use of sheerness on some parts of the costume provides a nice, albeit subtle, contrast.
I'd probably like that one more if they had put it on a skater who is at least somewhat close to legal age

This thread is fun...

Ok.
Best from this season:
Davis and White LP
Mao LP
Yuzuru LP, normal looking clothes disguise how skinny he is
Yulia LP, she looked perfect for the program

Worst.
Kevin Reynolds, I agree with the person that saids he needs a new haircut.
Yuzuru LP, love him but he needs a restriction order agains Johnny Weir desings

Anyway about the worst dress ever, nobody should get this award except a person who is very costant with the bad costumes:

Best Ice Dance costumes this year: Gilles & Poirier's Hitchcock FD.

Fashion designer Nick Verreos named them as among the best of the season:

Another one of my favorite Ice Dance costumes were worn by Canada's Gilles and Poirier. They skated to a "Hitchcock" medley and wore the above costumes in black with silver accents. Perfect; sublime and oh-so-good! Oh and yes, their Free Skate was one of my Top All-time FAVORITES of the entire season!

Kevin Reynolds needs more than a haircut! How about a stylist? But I read somewhere that he wears his hair that way purposely. Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmmmmmmm"!!!!

Yeah i really think it's on purpose, since the first time I saw him he wears it that way.

Somebody told me that Manon Perron once said he would never score in PC (even with better SS) because he doesn't look good. Personally, i believe she's right, though i loved his short program this year (with better SS, and hair, it would have been awesome !)

I really dislike white costumes on figure skaters. They get totally lost against the ice. Never could figure out why they keep dressing the women in white. Akiko's dress was gorgeous - just wish it had been a different color. Even a pale yellow or a pale green with that beautiful beading.

I totally agree. My worst white dress goes to Alissa Czisny in 2012. I loved her skating so much, and her struggling with her hip problem was so hard to watch. But this dress was just :bang:

Agree. If Alissa's dress had been any color but white I think it would have been stunning.

Yes, Piper is very into fashion design (she's studying it at Ryerson University), so she was happy when Nick Verreos sent her a message telling her how much he liked her dress. :)

Piper's program in fashion design is quite different from Paul's degree in linguistics. 3 years ago I wasn't sure these two would click because Paul is more cerebral and nerdy with all the languages stuff, etc. but they ending up having better chemistry together than they did with their prior partners. So sometimes the differences between two partners end up complementing each other well. I've noticed this in other teams, too.

Best and worst costumes you've seen

Hi everyone!

I was just curious to know - what in your opinion was the most beautifully-designed costume, one that really took your breath away? And also what was the worst design you've seen on a skater?
